｢ ooc: continued from here ｣

If your things are here then maybe it is your room! [ People travel. Some travel from realm to realm, from city to city, apparently traveling from room to room is a thing too.

He nonchalantly hops off the bed and moves in the direction of the door. There is enough panic in this room, no need to look threatening ]

I'm going back to whatever I was doing before I decided to laze around, you keep napping- [ A small pause in his upbeat tone. These rooms were assigned at random, not everyone is going to get along, and then there are also dangers... ] No one will bother you here.

[She clutches her possessions protectively close to her chest after fishing them out from their hiding spot, wide eyes watching this strange man all the while as he move around the room. She's too anxious, too off-balance to understand what he's trying to do, to make sense of what his cheerful tone is trying to say.]

N-- No, I couldn't-- I could not possibly...

[She also has legitimately no idea how to argue this. How can he be so nonchalant about finding a stranger in his room, asleep in his bed!!]

Why not?

[ It does feel as if he was in a room with a cornered animal. HE IS TRYING TO BE THE MOST ACCOMMODATING, he will even just lean on the wall as harmlessly as he can, as far away as he can. ]

I suggested it, didn't I?

Well, yes, but--...

[Now the cornered animal is just... terribly confused. Some of the tension leaves her shoulders as she looks up at him, perplexed.]

I just... I do not see why you would, when I have intruded upon your space and offered to leave already...

[That level of hospitality just doesn't exist. There has to be some ulterior motive. She's not paranoid, shut up.]

[ Welcome to Celtic traditions surrounding hospitality, they can be weird ]

Sure, I'll be blunt— You're tired, and for one reason or another, you can't sleep in your room. [ Vague shrugs. He is getting a bit confused on her confusion, which would end making them more both very confuzzled animals. So better to explain it as directly as possible. ]

I'm not the type to kick out someone needing help, hospitality is a sacred thing, no? I lose nothing for letting you nap on my bed when I'm not using it. [ The fact that he is weak to beautiful women might have something to do with it too. But in general, if anyone needed a nap space and wasn't a raging asshole, he'd let them. ]

[Her face (and ears) flush upon hearing his explanation, her body tensing with embarrassment rather than fear as she finds some interesting spot of wall to stare at instead of looking anywhere at him. Goddesses, is she really so obvious?]

You... You are making a great deal of assumptions right now.

[A weak attempt at salvaging even the smallest amount of pride. She hates this, this is the worst, she's going to go find a cave and live out in the woods--]

And that kind of thinking opens you up to thieves and other dishonest sorts as well, you realize. [Something she is very, very, very well acquainted with herself.] It is not as though you know anything about me, after all.

[ She is right, but worldly possessions are so overrated. Especially when you're either a ghost or a refugee in another world. So maybe she could grab his staff, but here it is just a piece of oak without any magical properties. He'd make himself another one. ]

The only thing you could steal from me would be my heart. [ Because this is right time to flirt, though he frames it more as a joke, rather than a serious attempt at pick-up line. ] Not saying you're wrong, but if I had anything on me, I could worry about it— thing is I don't.

[ He waves his hand and walks to the door. ]

I made my offer, it's up to you if you take it or not.
