His hands itched and the level of his anxiety doubled within the bond. Being alone with this particular woman should of been easy; comfortable... exciting. It was exciting, but the stolen kisses and playful banter of an accepted and a potential warder seemed years away suddenly and his deep feelings for her made the concern of disappointing her somehow all the more present. He wanted her, in many ways and all of the ways that a man could want a woman, but that made things more complicated as well. He touched her cheek for a moment before he touched the door knob and turned it. His other hand going to his weapon without conscious thought and he opened the door.<br/><br/>Warner knew that the effort was unnecessary; if anyone had entered her quarters, she would of known... but it was ingrained and she was his responsibility and he would not willingly let her go into danger without him to protect her. His eyes scanned the room, taking in the contents as he stepped fuly into the room. "Much nicer than the barracks." he said and couldn't stop the grin as he stepped behind the devider between the open area and her... bed. A flood of emotions that might include a little embarrassment came from him as he stepped back into the common area and sat the honeycakes down on the table. He looked at her sheepishly and his eyes met hers. "Avalyn, I would not harm a hair on your head." he said softly in his deep rumbling voice at the anxiety that he felt. Oddly, it made his own reduce and he again reached out and touched her cheek. "I would do nothing that you did not tell me that you wished."<br/><br/>He swallowed and started to speak... asking for his bedroll to put before her door, but it might be too presumptious to ask for such a thing. "The only thing that comes to mind that I could wish for isn't in the barracks." he said softly, "It's already here."<br/><br/>He took a deep breath and let his hand move down to stroke her neck; through her soft hair. "You said that no one can hear what happens here?" he asked and gently nudged her a little closer. "What shall we talk about?" he asked innocently and gingerly sat on the cushion of the seat; unsure as he always was of it's ability to hold up a man his size.
