@HiddenEldritch Adreyn snarls lowly ; not liking being touched ; burning hot hand a vice grip around the others wrist as eyes promised a slow death , though he calms slightly, feeling the searing pain fade . Green depths search the others face a moment before the hound sighs . “.. thank you .” His voice is gravelly , probably needs water , though it’s still rich and sweet , like vanilla or chocolate bourbon . He settles on the ground , rubbing at his throat after letting the other go , closing his odd gaze . “ did I burn you, I’m .. sorry.”
