Larea frowned at his words and quickly moved closer to him, lifting his chin up with her hand so his face was level with hers. Her expression changed to one of determination as she examined his face closer, sliding her other hand across the rough, stone-like parts of his face gently, trying to keep him from backing away. She brushed against his hair a few times, which similarly had a rougher texture than she expected. However, her expression never changed like one of disgust or anything of the sort.<br/>After she finished, she continued to stare at him for a few moments longer, before her face changed into a sincere smile and she shook her head quickly a few times. She ended it by leaning in closer and wrapping her arms around him in a friendly hug. If that couldn't convince him she didn't think he was a monster, nothing would.
