Aleron almost flinched at Jaron's blunt comment, his ears pinning back against his head again after they'd started perking up. He stood there for a few minutes after Jaron had left, thinking to himself. He wanted to tell the truth.. But what would Jaron think about it? Would he get angry about it? Would he not care? Or would it not make a difference either way? He was over thinking things, surely, but that was just a habit.. It took another ten minutes until he finally decided to start trotting his way through the forest to get back to the cabin, but he didn't run, his wounds still in the middle of healing since he didn't heal quite as fast as Jaron was able to, though his ears stayed back and down as he went. When he got to the cabin, he simply nudged the door open after taking the handle into his jaws, expertly opening it and slipping in, pushing it closed with one of his hind legs then, before his ears finally perked up to catch the sound of the shower running like small radars. Lowering his head, though not in any threatening way, he trotted to the bathroom, peeking his head in, and not surprised to see Jaron was taking a shower. His claws made quiet clicks as he walked into the bathroom onto the cold tile floor, and half way into the bathroom he shifted back to his human form, his wounds scabbed over in their quick healing in various spots on his neck- Clothless of course. Silently he stepped into the shower from the back, closest to the shower head instead of the opposite side where most people faced, just so that when he did step in he could immediately wrap his arms around Jaron's middle, pressing his chest against the other man's back, and even though Jaron was taller than him, he simply rested his head against Jaron's back, between the shoulder blades, while giving a quiet hug.
