You should practice a little more self-restraint before I can start considering your humanoid form cute... Hmph, Tinman." Albion snorted at the notion, but maybe she was right. Wasn't the Tinman heartless? "You say I ruin it, but I'm just speaking the honest truth as I see it. Again, you're welcome to fool around at your leisure, just know what you might be getting into, and don't come crying to me if you get burned for it." He sighed. Little would he know what the future had in store for him... If someone told him he and this vixen were going to become a lot more involved than they were right now, he might have laughed despite his apparent inability to.<br/><br/>"I guess I'll just warn you now then: I'm not someone you really want to read or get a better understanding of. It's better to just think of me as your instructor or... Well, I guess friend now, but that friend you can forget about down the line." He gave a half-hearted shrug... Though knowing her, she probably would never leave well and good enough alone. "So... You followed me here despite that? ... I'm not sure what to think about that besides wonder how you've managed to live this long."<br/><br/>He almost narrowed his eyes and grunted at her to get off of him, but she realized soon after she'd finally overstayed her welcome and climbed off of him. Slowly standing up, he dusted himself off and pocketed his hands. "I'm not sure if I should he taking you to a tavern with me... But I suppose it couldn't hurt. We'll worry about what to get when we get there." He spoke up before he shook his head. "You... Don't understand why I rent company, so it's better you don't know." He sighed, shaking his head and preparing to turn away before he cast his gaze downward to observe the flecks of sanguine that dotted the grass.<br/><br/>Somehow in her moments to help and comfort him, she forgot to care for herself... Closing his eyes he dislodged his tie from around his neck, reached into his pocket to withdraw a cloth, and took hold of her hand wrapping the tie around the cut she made in her palm, pressing the cloth in to help soak the blood. "You should learn to take care of yourself before you entertain thoughts of trying to care for me... Come along, let's find somewhere to drink at." He hummed, pocketing his hands. "We'll take your car. Just, drive safely this time."
