"There's not a thing you know about me, so don't be so quick with your tongue."
He gave no response as he pulled out a small kit from his cloak, going to sharpening his knives to keep him busy. The muscles in his arms were tense, the dark tattoo peaking out from his long sleeve as he moved.

Hidden look flashing across her face, Avery sighs, eyes opening as she finishes stirring the stew, straightens where she stands, unable to look at him "Food."

"Food."
Turning to look at the bowl, he moved the knife and the tool to one hand and took the bowl in the other, setting it briefly on the table as he put his things away. He started to eat, and after the first few bites, he tried to eat normally and slow. But, once a few minutes past, he scarfed down his bowl and stood to get another, wincing slightly as he moved to the fire. He reached out for the spoon, but froze as the manners he tried to find came back, and he stepped back, head tilted towards Avery.
"Is it all right....?"

"Is it all right....?"
Handing him a bowl, Avery's eyes widen slightly as she watches him eat before she remembers her manners and looks away, trying not to stare. Once he finishes, she looks back towards him at his question, gaze softening even as she sighs, empty bowl still in her own hands "Of course. Eat as much as you like." she murmurs, setting her bowl down and starting towards her bedroom "Will you be alright for a few minutes?"

"Of course. Eat as much as you like. Will you be alright for a few minutes?"
He nodded and got another bowl, sitting down where he was once before, continuing to eat. Zay had forgotten the last time he had real food, and the stew was something that brought out a slightly warmer side of him, though he still kept his distance.

Disappearing inside, Avery inhales softly then changes into basic traveling clothes along with some fur lined boots. Standing once done, she walks out, slipping her cloak around her shoulders, tying it near her neck, heads for the door "I'm going to go check my traps for prey. Don't let anyone in my home, please."

"I'm going to go check my traps for prey. Don't let anyone in my home, please."
Looking up at her, he watched her walk towards the door. Zay gave a nod and a small murmur, "All right." As she left, he went for another bowl, eyes flicking towards the outdoors. He needed to feed Enzo, but he was too busy feeding himself, and soon the thought had completely left his mind.

"All right."
"Thank you." Avery murmurs with a slight nod before she walks out, shutting the door behind her as her feet carry her towards the forest on the west side of the cabin, soft sigh as she steps into the trees

X'zayvean ate at least two more bowls of the stew before he stopped, finding a way to wash out his bowl. On the surface, he wanted to keep Avery away, and he wanted to do everything in his power to do so. However, deep down, he had gained a sense of respect and thankfulness for her. Once he wash the bowl and spoon he covered the stew and settled back in his chair, staring at the empty bowl, and he remained that way for some time.

Checking all her traps (no more than ten in the five mile radius from the cabin) Avery thinks while she walks, two quail, one rabbit, and a fox strapped to her waist with a thin rope. Not quite understanding why she really decided to help X'zayvean, she sighs and turns around, heading back the way she came. Reaching the cabin in a hour or so, she walks up the stairs and opens the door, groaning softly

Somewhere during his mulling, Zay had dozed off again, a hand gingerly resting on his side an his chip dipped against his chest. His other hand had been resting on the table, a small icy-looking stone resting within his fingers. In his state, the tension was gone, and one could almost swear that there was a hint of a smile, but one couldn't be sure. At the sound of Avery stepping in, he drew in a long breath, barely moving before he exhaled, falling still again.

Walking in, Avery pauses at the sight of the sleeping man then lays her catch on the table before him, leans down once her hands are freed and slips his arm around her shoulders, intending to move him so he's more comfortable

The movement jostled him, and his brows moved and twitched, though he didn't fully wake. The stone rolled on the wood as it slipped from his grasp, though his fingers closed around it as he woke partially, half sleep walking as he saw Avery. He struggled to stand on his own, murmuring quietly, "Sorry..."

"Sorry..."
Jolting when he wakes halfway, Avery breaths out softly in the effort to calm down, eyes flicking to his as he stands, helping him "It's alright. I know you were tired. While you're here, take whatever you need. Food. Rest."

"It's alright. I know you were tired. While you're here, take whatever you need. Food. Rest."
A hand ran over his face to wake up, expression tense as he rubbed the sleep from his face. When he opened his eyes again, they had lost a little of their luster and he took a breath. He knew what was setting in. "I shouldn't stay much longer." Zay picked up his weapons and cloak, moving them towards the door and leaned his bow against the wall and hung his cloak. "Do you have another bandage?"
