Most of the gloves at this shop were too bulky for her taste. She had to move on, but before she could actually do so she nearly jumped out of her skin when her rougarou savior spoke behind her, "I did not think we would ever meet again." That was her thought as well. A big city like this, to run into the same strange man again, out of the blue?
"I have questions for you." Aria turned around to gaze up at him. She hated being short, but it was life. "I have been hunted like a rabid dog by people with that mark." Aria wondered how he had made the connection. It was highly unlikely every Atharim had the same exact tattoo. It was a personal choice. Hers was more Celtic knot than circular serpent, but yet he had. "I want to know why. Come with me and I will not harm you."
Aria smiled up at him, she wanted to laugh. It could end very messily if either of them tried anything. Granted from his complete lack of emotional output Aria assumed she was in far more danger than he was in from her. She was unarmed, and she could hardly be packing anything. The black shirt clung to her body nearly a second skin, there was no room to hide anything, even at the small of her back. Her jeans were as close fitting, her pant legs tucked neatly into the black military issue boots she wore out. Her wallet tucked tightly into her back pocket was the only concealed thing she held. Her training was all she had, he was bigger and stronger and he had the use of some unknown power that from his tone was probably directed right at her.
"I won't go anywhere with you as long as you smell of nothing but being a man." Aria knew he didn't know what she meant, "That bubble of emotions needs to pop open before I go anywhere. I don't like threats or demands. I give you my word I won't try anything. If they are hunting you, you did something I don't want to know about. So let me feel what you have bottled up and I'll go with you. And I'll answer what I can if you answer some of my own questions."
It was a fair trade in her opinion. She didn't want to hurt him, he had saved her. But more importantly she didn't like the idea of being flung through the air with nothing but a thought.
