Ryan smirked a bit and shook his head. Anel was really worried he'd be send away or cause trouble. For him. Heh.<br/>He ignored the hand on his sleeve and sighed a quiet sigh.<br/><br/>"I think you misunderstand me, Anel," he said, picture of patience "If mister Aldrich did not rape you, he only betrayed my trust. For which he will be banned from the Teahouse. If he, however, did rape you... He'll not get off so easily."<br/>A shadow had fallen over those ice cold black eyes. Ryan recalling what he had done to the man who had scarred up Atticus. Somehow he had become a lot more threatening, even if he hadn't had moved at all.<br/><br/>"I am not sending you away, Anel," he continued, then took a deep breath and calmed himself again before locking his eyes on the whore's.<br/>"You really do not understand I am trying to protect you?"
