It seemed the man had not even realized there had been blood on his forehead. In a way that was relieving, because it meant that the blood wasn't his own. Someone else getting hurt on his behalf did not particularly sit well with him, so he was glad it didn't seem like he had been hurt. His handkerchief had been denied, but his forehead hadn't really gotten any cleaner. 

[color=burlywood]"I insist you take it, I don't really mind if it gets dirty.. plus.. I think you still need it.. there's still a little.."[/color] He trailed off, hesitant as he motioned to his own forehead in an attempt to let him know it was still dirty. He was unsure of how the man would take his insistence but, he also was not sure if he would mind walking around like that. 

Lucien was honestly a little surprised to have received a warning from the man, but then again.. he [i]had[/i] helped him, so maybe he was nice after all. He was probably the first person he had engaged in actual conversation with since leaving the church. His following words however, confused him.

[color=burlywood]"What do you mean.. 'people like me?' I didn't really do anything. I apologized, and simply wanted to be on my way.."[/color] He asked. Did.. they know what he was? Was that why they didn't like him? No, that shouldn't be possible. He hadn't done anything that would give him away. All he had done was accidentally run into one of them. If people out here were really that hard to anger then he really did have to be careful. Getting into a fight out here would definitely bring attention to him. After all, had those men actually gotten physical with him, the fact they would not have been able to hurt him would have definitely given away that there was something different about him. He had underestimated the priests' warnings. Still, the man's words were a little contradictory.

[color=burlywood]"You are certainly bigger than me, but you still helped me. Doesn't that mean I shouldn't judge everyone by their size and appearance alone?"[/color] He asked. It made sense to him. He had been told to be wary and keep his distance from drunks, that he completely understood, but was it necessary to avoid literally everyone that was bigger than him? He supposed if he was to keep a low profile.. then avoiding contact with everyone he met would be ideal but.. that sounded lonely.
