Kai smiled, trying his best to keep his temper from erupting and scaring Nyra away.

"No need to be formal. Kai is fine. And he hasn't dealt with me." He smiled as he looked Nyra over.

"You don't know me well enough to trust me. That's okay. You had no reason to trust any male." He gave her a brief bow, then stepped back, turning to fetch his book before moving over to a darkened archway leading to the rest of the rooms.

"As I mentioned, I will be sleeping in another room. I'm going to make a final round for the night so feel free to make yourself comfortable." He said, over his shoulder.
