He didn't understand how she was so kind to him, it was confusing but he also liked it. His black ears flicked and perked as he ate, the food was so much better and tasted better. He purred softly before finishing and all, looking to her the Neko smiled weakly before looking down. Rhyas was so used to being beaten, hurt, poked at, made fun of, teased, and more he wasn't so sure about all of this. Though a bath sounded good and it would help with the soreness and welts he had, looking to the door the male sighed. Shivering he coughed into his fist, "Just no pulling my tail." he muttered and rubbed the front of his throat. Rhyas was still thinking of freedom but as well as this new room he was to have, he would have a key, it made him feel safer.Â<br/><br/>Reaching up he ran his fingers in his hair before watching the boy come in with others, he stayed still watching them. His purple eyes kept on them till only the boy was left and he looked to the girl after standing, his joints groaned and popped but he stood straight anyway. Her question made her blink but he shook his head, "I don't but... I am not sure if you should help me do that?" his facial expression was blank save for the raised brow. After a moment he pulled at the shirt and tugged it over his head as he did there were much more pain to be seen than she knew. He had scars all over his torso, sides, as well as his back. Even a few dark bruises, those dark marks mainly were on his sides.Â<br/><br/>He sat down on the floor of the cabin and looked to her as he rubbed his legs. Honestly he didn't want to undress with her near, yes he had some decency about it but if he had been with someone he knew well enough he probably would have just stripped with no question and got in the water. He pulled his knees to his chest and curled his tail around himself, resting his head on his knees as he got his body to relax from a sudden shot of pain. It was also from being tired but he was just getting used to being free and being able to do what he nearly wanted.Â
