"You are suitable," he said reassuringly. "You are all quite suitable, no need to worry about that. You'll have to forgive my lack of refinement. I've spent much of my life on the battlefield, defending important men from dangerous villains hellbent on murdering them. I was defending the king not so very long ago." He reached a hand forward to brush Amisi's cheek, brushing along the underside of her chin to get her to lift her eyes to him. "Come now, you mustn't go the whole time without looking at me. You're going to end up tripping over your own feet all over the place like that." He moved to take her hand and helped her up to her feet and then pulled her down to gently sit in his lap. "None of this was my idea, I want you ladies to realize that, but the king would take great affront were I to refuse his gift. When I saved his life a moon ago, he was quite enthusiastic about making sure his debt to me was repaid. You ladies were part of that debt." He teased a fingertip along Amisi's neck gingerly. "And right now, it seems like you're the only one of the three who isn't afraid of me. No matter. Hopefully you'll all come around in time, realize I'm not so bad. I took care of the king, no reason to assume I won't take care of you all as well, assuming you don't mean me any harm." He chuckled throatily.<br/><br/>His hand brushed down along Amisi's arm, looking over to the other two. "You needn't stand so far away, ladies. I do not bite unless provoked. I'm sure none of you has spent much time with uncooth men of battle such as myself, but we aren't the mindless thugs that so many people make us out to be. You needn't be so afraid of me as to think I'm going to harm you. Hell, I can't even imagine doing much harm to your cities, unless it's purely by accident as I learn the ins and outs of being a lord. So you may each come to deal with me as you see fit, and hopefully you will overcome your shyness in time. Or, in your case, your anger," he said, looking Moire's way. "But I ask you to bear in mind this whole situation was through no instigation of mine. And I am attempting to show as much deference as I can, considering I've been the last three months without so much as a woman in sight." His fingertip trailed across Amisi's stomach slowly. "You can imagine what that kind of environment does to a man." He licked his lips just a little bit. They were all quite lovely, but so far, only this one seemed to have any real interest in him, and even that seemed to be heavily tinted with fear.
