Ethan didn't really want to say anything about the bruise on his face, so he shook his head. He rested his hands on hers to try and take them away, as he was ticklish in that general area. The neck was a tickle spot for him. The scales spread to his fingertips, apparently, because they were cold, very cold despite the heaters in his room. "It's nothing,  just got in a little turmoil with Ruby..." he sighed, then went to fix his shirts, pulling them down a bit to hide the scales. "A-Anyway... you're not invading space or anything, it's fine if you stay." he said to her, trying to sit up. His waist hurt a bit, due to earlier, but it wasn't anything to worry about really. Once he sat up, he scooted over so Elizabeth could sit down.<br/><br/>"Guess you met my niece, Alex, huh?" he asked, changing the subject. "Was never really a fan of kids... They scare me more than me trying to ice skate in the winter." he smirked a bit at that thought. "Then again, I'm horrible at it..." he sighed.
