Arlen watched with interest as Kodi pulled out a coloring book for herself and began to draw in it. At first he thought it was going to be something, well, childishly made, but as he watched he could see her true talent, and with a crayola no less. When she looked up and blushed, he simply smiled to her. He patted her shoulder at her stammered apology, chuckling lightly.<br/><br/>"Don't worry Kodi, it's alright. It's just your way of getting over stress, I understand that." He tugged the blanket around Kodi's shoulders a bit closer around her to keep her warm. "Don't worry about it, at least it's not like chewing your nails and leaving them lying about like some people." He returned his attention to the fire which reflected off his features in a rather remarkable way. For a man like him, it seemed to outline his features more and give them more character, as if his skin was actually made by fire, due to the skin tone. The fire reflecting in his eyes made it seem as though there was a fire IN his eyes, which was of course impossible.<br/><br/>He unfolded his blanket, feeling the chill starting to creap into his small house. Wrapping it about himself, he leaned back on his shoulders to gaze into the fire, thinking. He had a feeling this night would change his life a lot.
