[@Belle] Zavist exhaled a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding. He was tired. The shifting and the transporting really took a toll on his energy. He looked at her as she backed away. [color=lightgreen]"We are at the mansion. Home so to speak"[/color] home for him anyway. His nostrils flared as he took in the familiar scents and his gaze slowly moved back to the duo. [color=lightgreen]"You may use my bathroom to get clean if you wish"[/color] He did not like seeing them upset...but really he had no idea how to help. At the mention of leaving his arms crossed and his head shook. [color=lightgreen]"It is not safe. I insist you stay"[/color] he paused at the introduction and pulled off one of his gloves. He placed it on the table and held out his bare hand. [color=lightgreen]"I am Zavist. While you are here I promise you any harm that you encounter shall be dealt with by me"[/color] His voice was confident with that promise. He most certainly meant what he said. While Brenna and Gracie may not be his brothers they were female. And for some reason that triggered the need to protect just as easily as if they were.
