[color=0072bc]He looked at Eilis and slowly and a bit embarrassedly he said.  “Um, normally refugees are housed in public housing.  But those are cramped quarters and though they are better than living in the streets I would not like you living there.”  He cleared his throat to suppress his embarrassment. 

“Please forgive my forwardness but…um, if you don’t mind.  I would be able to secure an apartment in the city…”  He immediately added as he leaned quickly forward to assure her of his intentions.  “It would be for you only as I live in the barracks you see.”  He rushed through the words his own tanned face starting to feel a bit warm.

“If you have other plans I understand.  But if you would allow me this honor, it would be extremely helpful in allowing me to keep my word to you to protect you and neve leave you alone.  What do you think?”  He asked, almost holding his breath as he waited for her response. [/color]

Eilis looked up puzzled at him. 
[color=f49ac2]"But...I..."[/color] She looked a bit nervous at this proposal and felt silly for bringing this up, but she saw no other way around it. She would have to confess it.
[color=f49ac2]"I'm not used to living alone...I don't exactly feel comfortable."[/color] She said now blushing out of embarassment. [color=f49ac2]"I know its ridiculous, but we used to sleep with 4 people in a small room. I don't like being alone anymore. But I don't want you to think I'm ungrateful...just...I can only accept if you would be there too."[/color] She uttered as her fingers started fidgeting, before she forced them to stop by entwining them and twiddling with her thumbs instead.
[color=f49ac2]"I know I'm more trouble than I am worth..."[/color] She said with a sigh, before a knock shook them both out of their conversation.

There stood the red armoured silverhaired knight, holding a tray with two plates as he entered.
[color=ed1c24]"Forgive me for eavesdropping, but I might have a solution for that."[/color] Tyrhallan offered as he closed the door behind him.
[color=ed1c24]"She could stay at the estate in the City. I know my mother would enjoy a new 'project'."[/color] he said with a smile. [color=ed1c24]"She'll enjoy that, plus you can be assured that she will be well taken care of....She'd stay as a guest ofcourse."[/color] Tyrhallan stated as he stepped closer to the two setting the tray on one of the sidetables.

[color=ed1c24]"Also, it would be my apology for taking you out of the Shooting Stars without discussing it with you first." He said turning to Arn seriously. "And I do apologise, but we both know Evander would have court martialled you. We both know he's the petty kind that wouldn't stop with your unhappiness, he'd make sure you'd be ruined. Which would be a waste. A waste we might not be able to afford, hence my acting without your knowledge or permission."[/color] He said looking sternly at Arn bracing himself for the possible anger that might follow his confession.

Eilis looked from Tyrhallan to Arn, wondering exactly what this might mean, but she assumed that if she waited a little longer she would come to understand what the two men were speaking off. 

[color=ed1c24]"Anyway grab a bite to eat, you both need your strength right now to recover."[/color] He said gesturing to the tray.
