Soon after he stood up from his seat, he took in all she had to say, there were several pauses which just left more for Kaim to ask after. They had held a stare throughout the last thirty seconds or so, it was making him feel nervous, like back when they had those awkward conversations around the campfires during their previous travels, sure it eased off every now and again especially when they stayed at taverns and stuck to their seperate rooms, but it always came back especially towards the end of their adventure when the disappointing climax shocked them all into either silence, madness or anger.<br/><br/>He glanced down at the floor for a moment before taking his gaze back to Imari's face, a bath? And new clothes? He couldn't possibly agree for her to spend money on his sorry soul. He tucked his hand into his tunic to softly feel around across his currency bag, it was empty bar a single solid circular shape, just the one coin remaining. He took a moment to think on it, his eyes wandering outside of the window again before shooting back to Imari, everytime he saw her the same thought kept running through his head, how beautiful this woman was and how sure he was that she could be his life partner..something elves only found within their own species. Back to the matter at hand he nodded momentarily to Imari, he would just pay her back the moment he could get to one of the cities banks where his family inheritance still resided, surely over ten years the interest would have also made a sizable addition to his funds. "A bath sounds.." He bowed his head, "Thank you Imari."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"If you want I can help you wash your hair or just leave you too it in the room and find something else to busy myself with......"</span><br/><br/>Kaim could feel his cheeks become warmer, wave after wave of heat rushing over his face. He reached back behind his head taking his now rather long ponytail out from underneath his tunic and letting it fall down his back, his thighs and ending at his knees, "Well..it has been awhile and I can't get to all of it properly like this..if you would, then yes please Imari." He reached down to his tunic belt, awkwardly fumbling with it as he undid it, both halfs of his tunic splitting down the center revealing a lightly indented set of abs, nothing special although they were dashed with a few dry patches of dirt. A medium weight object swung in from Kaim's left lapel as he looked to Imari, the blue gem centered in a diamond shaped silver cradle shimmering against the candlelight as it hung from his neck on a still clean chain. "Hm.." Kaim smiled to himself holding the objects body in between his thumb and index finger, "Remember this?"</div></blockquote>
