Phoenix watched Aria through half lidded eyes, carefully so she would not see them glowing in the darkness. He always slept little, and when he did it was lightly. Due to his kind always being hunted and being the most hunted, he had to be more careful than other species. He thought about letting her know he was awake, and that he didn't need the things she was placing down. His natural body temperature could keep him warm in snow, for food he could just go outside and easily catch a rabbit or some vole and cook them with his magical properties, he was even fine eating them raw at times. As for water he could easily find that as well.<br/><br/>However the fact that she was giving him the things made him smile to himself and even feel some remorse. He wondered how someone so secretly sweet could get exiled though maybe that's how it happened. Maybe she helped someone she shouldn't have because she was so caring. Who knows? He would only know by asking her, and it was best not to ask.<br/><br/>As he continued to watch her, he wanted to repay her somehow, of course the only way he could think of would be<span style="font-style: italic">that</span>. First he needed to see how much he could trust her. He waited until she was done for his eyes to fall back down. A few days, and if things went well he would ask her to come with for something he hoped she would like.
