Larrin blinked as Erin spoke, once more amazed at the generosity shown by his temporary hostess'. her stammer did not go unnoticed, and he felt a twinge of curiosity as she dropped her eyes. he opened himself slightly to Erin, allowing a bit of his minor empathic ability take in her feelings. he felt concern, not for him, but about him. her words confirmed what he suspected. she thought she might have displeased him, presuming that he'd want new clothes. he couldn't help the hint of a smile that quirked the corners of his lips. Lass... doona fret. ah appreciate yer consideration, honestly. ah didnae expect ye tae do as much as ye have. he said, before gingerly reaching forward, hooking his finger lightly under her chin and lifting it so he could catch her gaze. his voice was soft, just barely above a whisper, but the subtle bass in his tone carried slightly. ye needn't fear displeasing me with yer generosity, nor should ye show such a sign of submission, tae mahself or anyone. thank ye. ah do mean it. he couldn't help commenting on the subtle body language that was second nature for him to read. wolves communicated with their bodies, in addition to various pitches of growls, yips, and howls. he let his hand drop, lifting his chin slightly to take in the scent of food being prepared. Come. he said softly, moving down the hall.<br/><br/>Larrin made sure his towel was tucked around his waist firmly, then tossed his torn pants through the doorway of his borrowed room, before following his nose to the kitchen. stepping in, he looked to Janessa, approaching slowly. is there anythin' ah can help ye with? ah doona wish tae be a free-loader while ah recover. he asked. it only just dawned on him how both the women may react to a towel-clad male of his build. then again, he didn't have much in the way of modesty. idly, his pushed his wet hair over his shoulders, his muscles rippling under tanned flesh. he obviously saw plenty of sun, and given the definition of his lean frame, took pains to maintain his appearance. the only oddity about him, was that the only hair that grew on him apart from his nearly white hair, was the short beard that had grown while he had recuperated. his body was oddly void of hair. it was one of the traits that made he more desirable to women of this time, though in centuries back, it was certainly an oddity. many had questioned his health and even his species. regardless, it was one of the things that could not be helped.<br/><br/>Larrin let his gaze shift over the women a moment, not letting it linger too long. both were attractive with their own merits. both gifted, that much he remembered. however, he didn't think it wise to mention it, since he had his share of secrets, and it wouldn't be fair to make them reveal theirs without revealing himself. that was not the best idea, as he saw it. it was this reason alone he kept his shields so tight that it reigned in his metaphysical wolf. normally, the beast was allowed to wander unseen around him. only those gifted with the second sight could see it, and those sensitive to energy would feel its presence as a spot of warmth, no matter the ambient temperature. however, when he was shielded, his wolf was forced to a place within his mind, someplace akin to a dark cave where none with any sense of intelligence dare explore. the beast didn't like this, and grumbled mentally to its human avatar. he'd have to release it eventually, lest it make itself known in rather unpleasant ways.
