Rose wouldn't have willingly embraced Varian yet two factors made him feel the need to be close to the strong man. One it was an act of gratitude. Two hating him or not the man protected him and made him safe. So he was showing his gratitude for it in the only way he knew how...through a show of appreciation. His still shaking form tensed as the arms encased him yet he didn't try to pull away. This one moment in time was one that should be savored for there was no guarentee it would ever happen again. Yet for this one moment he willingly let Varian hold him. It was both discomforting and comforting to feel the man holding him. The soothing stroking of his thumb on his back caused the fear to start to go away.<br/><br/>For this one moment in time Varian had earned an act of embrace through gratitude. Knowing Varian it wouldn't happen again. He felt wet warmth from the man he was letting hold him...for just this moment in time. He still strongly disliked Varian but the man had protected him from harm. He kept his face buried in Varian's chest. Trying to soak up the strength which both made this man strong yet arrogant. Just wanting to soak up some of that strength for right now he felt so very weak. He tensed more as the grip making up the embrace got a bit tighter. He didn't like that but right now Varian had earned this moment of gentle embrace from him.<br/><br/>When Varian finally spoke he looked up at him. Merely nodding his head. For once he did not fight. For once he did not argue. He merely followed Varian inside. He was quiet and saw the maid he had come to learn as nice bring a blanket to wrap it around him. "Thank you Sasha." He said softly. Huddling into the blanket more. Clutching it tighter to him. His long seafoam teal colored strands clinging to his back a bit. Once they were back in the room he seperated himself from Varian. "What do we need to discuss?" The room was much warmer than where they had been.
