As if by habit his hands moved to steady her even as he pulled away, though he in no way gripped her. The last thing he wanted was to cause a scene on his first day here. He wasn't exactly forgettable. Glowing orange eyes didn't miss her hand slipping into her pocket, and his left hand curled back, ready to grab something from behind his back if she drew a weapon.

His eyes didn't leave her despite the desire for him to check to see if anyone noticed this event. His voice was low, his composure regained. "Even the guards seem to dislike this place - have you noticed? It's not so hard to avoid them if you don't mind the dark."

He was only here to scout things out, but the way she was being defensive suggested she might be here for something more. He could probably help with that.
