Damien didn't seem to notice Jeremiahs' shock for a moment before he spoke again, he gave a small smile as he stroked Vez's head gently. "She's a Faecat." He said gently, "She was a gift when I first came here. She keeps the house guarded while no one is here." He continued before he smiled as Jeremiah added that he should go unpack. "Of course, you should get your things out." He said with a small nod.

His smile was more neutral than friendly, Vez moved out of his arms and over his arms and up onto his shoulders with a stretch- her wings fanning out slightly as she looked towards Jeremiah gently, as if studying him with knowing eyes. There was a look in her eyes that was much wiser than a simple domesticated companion, but she swayed her tail and climbed down the back of Damien with a dingle of her tail before she moved to tug slightly at Damiens' leg.
"I'll feed you soon, keep your tail on." Damien said with a frown as he looked to Vez, who seemed to want to retort before she headed off towards the kitchen. Damien looked back up to Jeremiah as he gave another faux smile, "I'll be in the kitchen if you need me, let me know if you have any allergies to any sort of food." He said calmly and turned to follow his Faewild companion.

[i]"Another partner?"[/i] A small voice came into Damiens' head as he entered the kitchen, moving to grab Vez' bowl and started to clean it out from an earlier meal. He simply gave a nod as he continued, moving to go to the fridge and grabbed a large bit of steak. [i]"So soon after they disappeared?"[/i] The voice sounded worried, but not unaccepting, [i]"Hopefully this one lasts, He seems to have a good head on his shoulders."[/i]
"I'm worried mainly." Damien said quietly, Vez waited patiently behind him by the fridge for her food. "I just hope he's not too curious."
[i]"Wouldn't it be nice to let someone in?"[/i] The voice chimed in again as he turned to place the bowl down with the sliced up steak. [i]"Having someone on your side when things go sour?"[/i]
