He couldn't lie but her behaviour has awaken the protective side in him as it so often would. Even in the Southern temple, in the Tunawa refuge where he might have heard of a few new members or caught a glimpse of one, he always felt like sheltering them all from harm, erasing the pain and the bad to replace it with the good. Now, stood here in front of Tei'serin, the same instinct spread through his body. He took no action, though. Seeing in her body language, the look in her eyes, he had to stay still alas he might frighten her unintentionally. There was still a decision to be had. Considering she took a few bits, it might have been her first time deciding freely to do something. Daunting as they were, Finn felt the warmth of relief rising when she delivered the conclusion.
"Thank you Tei'serin. I promise I won't be any trouble." The priest said with a slight nod of the head, at last moving away from her just a small fraction.
"I'll make my bed on the floor. It's absolutely fine. I would not want to cause any more troubles than I already have." Having settled the assumptions that the Sev'ryn girl might have known something about Telar but chose to toy with, Finn felt a little more at ease himself. He had more capacity to think of other things. Like, who was this man that subjected Tei to that kind of abuse? How long has it been going on? Why was he doing it? Could she be helped? Saved? Absent in mind, Finn gave Tei a surprisingly present, somewhat charming smile of gratitude.
"So have you been living on your for a long time?" A strong and fast assumption based on the fact that Finn saw no sign of another resident around. Mainly it was due to the fact that when Tei invited him in initially there was no consideration for anyone else. Moreover, if she truly were to fulfil all his wishes, and Finn could well imagine what her usual guest's wishes might be, logically there probably was not another person living in the same house.
