His grumbled words gave her pause, his actions of lifting the straps of her dress surprised her. Wasn't that what he had wanted? Didn't he want her body, sure he'd said no and that she wouldn't have to worry about him taking her, his body told her otherwise. The bulge pressing up against her told her his mind and thinking of her less as a child and more as... the thought stopped short as he spoke apologizing to her about the needs his body was craving.  "Is it because I am part..." she stopped trying to thinking of what to call herself, claiming she was 'part of the sea' seemed to pretentious though it seemed right to her.  When it came to Clay though she couldn't read him and didn't want them their qusia-truce broken, not by saying the wrong thing to him. She watched him walk towards his desk curious now, why he left his bed to sleep on his chair. Was it because he didn't want to chance doing anything to her? That couldn't be it...could it? She shook her head to the thought and pushed it away doubting that he was doing it for her comfort.  He wasn't that kind of a guy at least not what she's seen since his appearance in her room.<br/><br/>She kept quiet watching him and wrapping herself in the fur blanket curious at to his motivations both of his sudden attraction to her and his stopping her from willingly giving herself to him. It confused her, but then a lot of things that humans did confused her and after being told she was anything but for most of her life it was easy to not think of herself in that way.  After some time her mind started to wonder and she shifted her head to look out the window at the oceane below rocking the boat that carried the crew and it's captain to unknown lands and people. She moved to her knees trying to get closer to the only true place that seemed like home to her other than when her mother was still alive. Looking at the turquoise liquid below letting the waves mesmerize her and relax her and make her forget that she was with strangers. Nix started humming softly to herself using the image of the calm waves to dictate the tone and melody of her humming.
