He blinked surprised by her ferocity as she spoke to him watching her amazed as she insisted before nodding "I guess you are right, At first I left her to fend for herself but I find myself making sure she finds things that are safe for her to eat, Safe places to sleep..." he rubbed his chin then chuckled "She probably won't ask, she doesn't tend to. you simply, don't need to mention it." he said easily as if it was the most obvious answer then shrugged "You can try but overcoming such sever trauma is not that easy the human mind is far more delicate then that of a demons." he pointed out, Spending time with rin had shown him more about human fragility then he had ever wanted to know.<br/><br/>"It will depend on the information he has collected, if he has found out where this man is we will go to him, if he has not then we will move further north, I have connections that may have information that will be useful.  I assure you if he has passed through my lands, I will know." he said with the calm confidence of a man who did not fail.  He tried not to dwell on how the way her crossed arms pushed up her bosom making them far more pronounced. it was certainly causing an interesting reaction to certain parts of him, suddenly he was glad he wore looser clothing, though strict personal discipline kept any trouble from 'rising' as it where it was a surprising struggle.<br/><br/>"He likely will not return until the morning.  I assure you, you are safe with me, get some more sleep Either way in the morning you will need to be in better shape for travelling." he advised leaning back against the wall alert but clearly intending to get some rest himself even if he didn't fall into a full sleep.<br/><br/>-----------------------------<br/><br/>She felt his muscles bunch tensing beneath her hands, She knew she shouldn't have touched him but her whole life she'd never felt so drawn to anyone, even if nothing could come of it, she at least knew the feel of his skin, the softness of his hair, she could keep those sensations close to her heart and know with confidence there wasn't anything wrong with her.  "Or perhaps you are simply not evil the way you think you are." she said softly "Someone who was so heartless, they would not warn me, they would simply kill me, maybe even try and act nice to win me over to get more from me." she said softly<br/><br/>as they walked she nodded "Alright I'll have it made up for you." she said pausing a moment to stop a maid and speaking to her before continuing on with him nodding as he told her about the group he had fought with it seemed like quiet an eclectic group she frowned "These are the ones seeking the jewel shards aren't they?" she said after a moment "Many are fighting and killing for them but word of this particular group has reached even me." she said frowning "I have heard they have done some good for quiet a few people but I guess the lure of such power can corrupt even people with the best intentions.  I am glad none have been found here, I would be worried for my people if there was such a dangerous object here." she said frankly "But They shouldn't come this way since this isn't a main road and there are no shards here." she said reassuringly sitting on a small stool her back to him combing her fingers through her hair as they spoke.<br/><br/>"How is the water? These springs are natural, all the water is fed into here from mountain springs and heated as it passes through into this building then is fed back out where it cools as it goes back to the stream." she explained "Flowers and leaves are mixed in to help sooth aches."
