[ He wishes that he could be more forward with the things he wishes to do and say, but he finds his resolve flagging almost as soon as he begins to consider it. The smallest of touches is hardly enough for him, but he supposes that it is better than nothing at all. If only he could push past his reservations and be with her in all the ways he wishes to.
But for the moment, he contents himself with sitting beside her while she has her dinner. It has been some time since he ate as ordinary people did, and now that he has no need for consuming food in that way, he finds that he has forgotten the taste of certain things. Still, even he has to admit that the smells that travel throughout the house when food is being prepared would tempt him if he was inclined to consume food again.
When she has finished and had her fill, he stands when she takes his hand and pulls. He truly does wish to let her in past the walls that he has built, but it is a matter of taking that first step and letting those walls slowly fall. He knows full well that he feels emotions the same as anyone would, but he has spent so long concealing his true feelings that he has become disconnected from those feelings and being able to show them to others. He knows it gives him the appearance of being aloof and uncaring, but he never had to worry about that before crossing paths with Alkaid. ]
Perhaps I should prepare a bath for you. My needs are- Well, they are few. That is not to say that your own needs are too many, but I would see you cared for first. [ She may be more than a guest, but he still feels the need to see that her needs are met before his own. ] And what of your own relaxation?
