Having water spattered over his shirt was the last of his concerns. With a last annoyed look out of the small window, Rayn bent down and scooped the small woman into his left arm and held her against him. He fished his phone from his pocket and began to dial as he started walking towards her room.
'I'm busy' came Acheron's voice from the other end of the phone
"And I need.. help"
'Too late.'
"I don't have time for your jibes"
'I'm serious. you don't need my help on this one, general. Tell her what she needs to know and don't tell her what she doesn't'
"Are you sure?" he placed her down gently on her bed
'i'm busy. I love our talks, but you have more important things to do now than hear about why i'm busy'
Rayn hung up the phone and shoved it in his pocket before kneeling down in front of Andraste and speaking softly to her. It reminded him of the time when he'd brought a young woman out of slavery. It had taken weeks to coax her to look at him and utter a word. Andraste didn't seem as fragile, yet it was the same protective feeling that lit up inside him. "Shh.." he tried to soove her, brushing her hair from her eyes in the process and trying to get her to focus on him rather than the image he had a feeling was burned into her eyes.

Andraste only vaguely felt the arm encircle her and pull her into a comforting embrace. She could barely bring herself to breathe, but she forced the air into her lungs in long slow gulps, rather than letting it lapse into hyperventilation which she knew it would if left unmonitored.
What she had just seen, was not something that was going to just leave her... it was like it had been branded right onto her very heart.
"T-T-That's what's t-taking all those g-girls isn't it? The ones in n-northbridge?" she stuttered, not lifting her head from where she kept it crunched against her knees.

He could hear her heart beating in rapid succession. "Yes" he spoke softly, "And he's the reason I was sent to work here. I was sent to make sure that he's stopped." he would let her decide what that made him; right now she didn't need the extra confusion.

"S-So that m-makes you some sort of... of monster hunter?" she asked, lifting her eyes just a little so that she could look up at him. She was clearly terrified.
"You'll g-get it... wont you?"

"Mmhm.." he smiled warmly, "I will most definitely get him." he looked toward her window out of habit. The sky remained black as night, yet it would be only a few short hours until the sun shone brightly through that window. "There's no need to be scared. Have you heard the vampire legend about how they can't come inside a home uninvited?" he looked back into her frightened eyes, "The legend stems from such as he... you're safe so long as you are inside your own home, someone else's home or with me. Right this moment, you are twice as safe... So you see...No need to be afraid.."

"B-But I... I have to go to work," she choked, terrified of the very notion of coming out from behind her bench, let alone leave her house.

"Do you work during the day and get back home before nightfall?"
He didn't want her to be scared, but he did need her to be alert and aware of the consequences if she didn't follow what he was telling her.

"N-No," she choked, shaking her head. "I w-work the evening shift... I usually walk home as it's getting dark."

He was THIS close to telling her to either quit her job or change to day shift, before an idea hit him that made him wince, no matter how much sense it made. "It would be much safer for you if i could attend your workplace with you."
he was letting her have the choice at the moment, and so far she was co-operating; but mif she found out what he was, he very much doubted she would do such.

Andraste squeaked slightly, unsure of having him watching over her twenty four seven.
"H-How would I explain to the others why there's a man following me everywhere... t-they'd go thinking the wrong things..."

Rayn frowned and leaned back into a crouch, his muscled legs contracting to sculpture his leather pants; and raised a single perfectly defined eyebrow at her, "Trust me darling" he slipped back into his droll, dry tone, so used to pushing people away, "I'm not the boyfriend type. They'd think me a stalker or a body guard before thinking me a boyfriend. I don't do sweet and cuddly" his lips formed a thin line as he stood up, no longer in the mood to soothe her.

Andraste frowned too, looking slightly defensive from his mocking tone.
"Maybe i MEANT the stalking or bodyguard option. People will ask questions regardless!"
The defensive manner dropped away and she hid her face again.
"Why me?"

Rayn caved slightly and sat on the other end of the bed from Andraste. "They will ask questions but this isn't the first time I've done this. If you wish, i can truly stalk you and no one will even know i exist. I also spin a very convincing story or i can spend days on end without a word being spoken..... In answer to 'why you'.. you are a very unique woman Andraste and women like you are not born very often. The man I hunt seeks those with stong souls above others. You have a very strong soul my lady." by the end of his small speach, his voice was just above a whisper as his mind was not where his words were. He was 2000 years in the past... it'd been happening a lot more frequently since he'd moved hunting grounds...

Andraste wasn't sure she bought the whole 'strong soul' thing, she didn't feel strong OR special... she felt average and if anything, weaker than ever at the moment.
"I-I don't want to be any more of a nuisance than I already am... do whatever you want..." she murmured, her voice low. Right now she just wanted to crawl under her bed and hide like she used to as a child.

Rayn nodded and stood, feeling it only right for him to allow her to be by herself at this moment "You are not a nuisance nor are you a blight, Andraste. It is duty that provokes my protection upon you as it would anyone else with such a need.. Yet..although am ill of ease to impose upon you as i have, I shall be requesting your acceptance, if not your permission to reside here.. in your home, not your room.. until tomorrow night by which point I should have decided upon a better method of which to make absolute your safely." He spoke with such a manner unknown by this modern age, although he did not intend to do so. He was definitely feeling something towards this woman while she retreated back into herself... though he would tuck it deep within himself as he looked towards the door.. debating within whether his proposal was truly necessary.. Manners and kindness merely drew friends - of which he could not afford... Yet he seemed to not be able to connect his mind and his tongue, which aggravated his internal torture further..
Half oblivious to Andraste, Rayn continued to stare at her ajar bedroom door as he churned over the reasons for his purposeful disregard to any sort of friendship...
