[ He is patient, infinitely so sometimes. A life time spent watching and waiting and only ever reacting to what was placed in front of him had made him so.
His temper was not so much hard to rile but all used up. Anything she could or might do to him, in the end, would be nothing. Not really. She might rend his body but that was all it would be, and what was that to him anymore? Muscle and tendon and bones.
So he shifts on his bed, moving down a little and jerks his head for her to sit beside him. Just a brief movement as he turns to reach under his pillow, feeling around for a moment and tugs out the charm where he kept it. After losing it once, he wasn't sure he wanted to risk it anywhere else. Besides, he had not lied. In it's way, it did dull pain, but more than that, he was not as immune to it as he might pretend. There was a pull, quiet and steady under his skin, to it. Might just be because as his hands wrapped around the cool bone, everything else was washed away. There was just void. That nothingness was welcome.
He waits patiently, and whether she accepts it or not, he still offers it to her to take. ] Do not listen too long on it. I wasn't saying it purely just to have it back. [ Because there was power in it, old and new, and it hummed constantly under his hands with it. ]
