[ The life he could offer her may not be much better than the one that she has known. Even if she accompanies him to his home, for her safety, she will have to largely remain hidden, and what sort of life is that? But his mind is already spinning with thoughts concerning how their days might look, and he is resolved to provide her with everything that she might need, to the best of his ability.
He too craves contact with another living person, and while it may seem selfish for him to seek that and ask her for that, he finds that this is one area in which he may allow himself to be selfish. Driven by instinct, he leans in just a little closer so that he might lightly brush his lips against one of her bared arms.
It seems then that his command has reached her and taken hold, and with a stab of guilt, he asks the question that he should have asked earlier than now. But considering that he was previously injured and unable to ask much of anything, it seems that now is the best opportunity to do so. ]
Tell me, what is your name? If you are to accompany me, I ought to know what I should call you.
[ And while he awaits her answer, he once again moves his hand to reach for another part of her: this time, it settles lightly on her ear, not moving just yet, but waiting to see how she might react. ]
