Varian watched in slience as she clung to the blanket her distance quite clear the embrace was a one time deal, the idea made him smile in his usual fashion. He liked the challenge his sheep always put up, but the smile faded as the words sunk in. Yes they needed to talk, he needed to explain exactly what she saw today and to why she was used as pawn by his sibling. Taking a deep breath he leaned back into the plush chair that made him stand out in its burgandy plush. Varian's head leaned to the side as he spoke, "What you saw today is not something we usually let happen so openly but under the circumstances it was needed. As you saw my brother and I are shifter's a curse given to every set in our family for generations." he said as he remembered the many memory's of his family.<br/><br/>He swallowed hard his gaze returning to Rose "I know you are not fond of me but I would prefer you stay with me now. Even if you leave my brother may just go after you to incur my wrath so it would now benefit you to be under my protection. What do you say Rose do you wish to be protected or would you rather my brother's roughness?". His gray eyes waited in anticipation his eyes on Rose watching the droplets from her hair fall onto the wooden floor.
