[b][Sessamaru][/b] Sessamaru studied the man, and he couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation. This man possessed power and it was tangible, especially to someone closely connected to the Nexus, the source of all energies. Rouen looked strong and held himself with a certain amount of self-importance. Though he was human, Sess knew of humans that could prove to be a threat to peace, whether they meant well or not. This man... Sessamaru felt he needed to keep close attention to him, otherwise the peace he strove for would fall into ruin. Nevertheless, he held his smile, undeterred by his body language. Throughout it all, he did not notice Naida's fingers digging into his arm and when she relieved the pressure to invite the man in, he looked down to his arm. With a shrug, he turned to Katelia and gave her a warm smile. She was a welcome sight to sore eyes, his cautious nature fading away. "Miss Katelia," Sessamaru greeted, then he turned his attention to her ally. "Mister Hel," he added, kneeling and scratching the leopard behind the ears. "Why don't you stay a while? It would be great if you two could enjoy what the Tavern has to offer." Sessamaru rose slowly, turning his attention back onto Naida and the knight. Naida smiled at him as she made the man a [i]Fey Buster Ale[/i], her most famous drink. "This place could use a little livening up, after all!" He laughed, turning back to the young woman. The half-breed outstretched his left hand to her, hoping she would accept his offer to remain.
