[ He follows along, keeping close, easing them to sit down, pulling her right into his lap. ]

Sure sounds like it. [ He's dealt with a lot of shit in his life, but this is a new one. ]

But I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. [ Famous last words. ]

[sonatinas]

[She lets him pull her onto him, curling there in his lap as she rests her head on his shoulder. She doesn’t know how true his words may be, but the fact that someone cares about her, is there with her now, she feels better. Francesca sighs lightly against him and gives a small nod.]

I have never experienced anything like this place before. I do not know why they have brought me here when everyone else seems to know of magic and wolves and vampires. I feel ill equipped if all I am good for is for parties. Or some sort of entertainment value.

[venatoris]

I don't think that's all your good for, and it isn't a bad thing you're not used to all this crap. Means you haven't been exposed to all the bullshit that comes with it, and trust me, it's a lot.

[ He keeps an arm around her waist, the other sliding up to push up into her hair, cup the back of her head. ]

[He holds her tightly, hand pushing into her curls as she looks up at him. It's hard to not take it personal when she's spent the last two weeks fairly locked up. It hasn't been a good time for her, but she is thankful he's here.]

But that means I know even less now. How can I protect myself?

[venatoris]

I can teach you some basic stuff. Self defense, that kind of thing.

[ She's not gonna be a hunter anytime soon, but a few tips aren't gonna hurt either. ]

How to throw a punch without breaking any fingers, for starters.

[sonatinas]

I suppose it is a start. [And better than the lack of knowledge she currently has. Maybe he could even tell her more about protections from the creatures he is more familiar with, the ones that are more likely to harm her.

She squeezes his side, anxious but feeling a little more hopeful. Like perhaps she can get through this.]

I am glad you are back.
