He took in a steadying breath and nodded faintly,honestly putting a lot of trust in her compared to how little he trusted other people.

Finley put her arm around his shoulder. She sighed as she looked ahead. She wanted him to feel safe.

He was shocked at the action,but for once didn't flinch one bit. Instead,he tentatively leaned a bit into her,relaxing a bit as his frail body de-tensed a bit. He closed his eyes as his choker glowed ever so slightly,his fangs a bit longer than before.

Finley smiled down at him. The bus continued at a steady pace. Her eyes fogged over a bit. She frowned and tensed up. However, she did her best to hide it from Sean.

Despite her efforts,Sean felt she was tense,having been around his father long enough to know tension. He looked up at her with worried ruby like eyes. "Are you okay?A-am I bothering you?"

Finley shook her head. "Ah, no. You are fine." She said gently. She smiled again. "Please, don't worry."

He looked down but gently put his tail to her calve gently,as to try to be reassuring. "I know t-tension when I see or feel it....b-but I'll leave you b-be on it if you w-want." He said softly.

Finley gently pulled Sean closer to her. "It is fine. It isn't you doll so don't panic." She said. She turned her head to look out the window.

He sighed softly and relaxed by her,closing his eyes and giving a faint nod as his hood dropped back to show the night black of his hair seeping up and around in ink like splotches all throughout his pure white hair.
