She didn't immediately respond, and while his anxieties went buck-wild, he also recognized that she was feeling a lot of things right now. He followed her step for step, happy to witness her home and take in every grain of sand and chunk of stone that built this hidden mountain in the desert. It was not up the stony hill Amrei led him, but around and... beneath it? Oh - a cave. He trotted along inside with her surprised at the downward slant of dirt that allowed for a cool, open den with a few dips and scoops that'd clearly been used for nests. It was cozy in here, and the temperature difference was crazy!

The ebony Dusk summoned him for... something he might not like. News. Her past, he assumed, but Kaphiri merely blinked and trotted over her way. He couldn't imagine anything short of perhaps being a serial killer with no rhyme or reason could turn him from her; the priest smiled.

It's okay, Amrei, he offered quietly, reassuring, I'll be fine. Whatever you need to get off your chest, please.
