He nodded once, though he knew that Basilisk would not see it. Thinking over everything the man had just said, he smiled for just a moment. He hadn’t been sure at all of what to think, but knowing that it was true what this man’s eyes could do… he felt sorry for him.

“You’re welcome to leave whenever you’d like, but, I only helped you because I was sure that you didn’t belong where you were. But, you won’t have to worry about that. I wouldn’t think of having you do anything like that.” He didn’t know what to say, really, and hoped that this sounded appropriate. He had never done anything like this before though, so it probably didn’t matter. He leaned just a bit closer, getting a better look at the blindfold that covered Basilisk’s eyes. It didn’t appear to be comfortable at all. He stepped back again, glancing around the room before speaking to him.

“…Really, I suppose you don’t need to leave fore a while if you would like. There is no one else living with me, and I would hate for you to be caught again without my immediate knowing. I don’t plan on ever doing anything like it again, so I would like it if you kept yourself safe.”
