Vladimir frowned seeing the sadness in the young man's face. He didn't know why, but for some reason he wanted to comfort this man. 'No,' he thought to himself, 'get too close and you risk giving him more wounds...or worse.' He swallowed at the thought. It'd been awhile since his last feed and just the thought of a taste...he was surprised with himself keeping composure last night. He should send him home, he should let him go. But...the thought of Daemon wandering about alone...with no protection...in a forest full of angry wolves. It'd be irresponsible of him.
"I can't let you go out on your own with those wolves after you. You can stay here...at least, until they leave you alone." he replied softly.
He had to admit, the thought of having someone in this castle with him was intriguing, to say the least. He'd spent so long on his own that he had forgotten how nice it was to have someone else there. The one thing he worried about was how long he would be able to keep his secret.
