Her apology was not something he had expected, caught him rather off guard though he made no fuss about it as he took the pot to the stove and set it on the burner to boil. He stood there for a moment watching her as she chopped at the herbs the anger and rush of emotions in her body rolling off of her in waves. When she was finished and turned to face him her guard was once again in place and he gave her the respect of listening to her as she spoke about hunting, though how she said her way intrigued him quite a bit.<br/><br/>The stream of questions that he was bombarded with he took calmly as well understanding that she needed this, needed to vent, needed to get it off her chest. To let her guard down for a bit and just talk to someone about how she felt instead of keeping it all to herself all the time. When she stopped he waited a moment before slowly walking over to her. He stopped a few feet away resisting for the moment the urge to touch her though he could feel that she was hurting.<br/><br/>"Those who have hunted dragons did so out of ignorance and not knowing what it was that they were doing. My mother and her sisters raised me to respect all living creatures, the dragons and spirits especially for they were around before man ever took their first breath in this world...." now the urge to touch her was one that he could not resist as he wanted to make her feel better, to comfort her.<br/><br/>Slowly he reached up and touched lightly at her arm, stroking it gently as he continued to talk "Wanting company is nothing to be ashamed of or afraid of...." he spoke gently stepping in a bit more so that he could possibly hug her "Wanting someone to confide in and talk to is part of being alive...I would say human but its more then that...its about being part of the world...part of the Great Mother..." he took a deep breath and then because he thought that it might help he stepped closer to her and pulled her into a hug.<br/><br/>"You have kept it all bottled up for too long....just need to let it out...." he whispered to her as he rubbed her back gently.
