Eric looked back at her as he heard her fumbled excuse as to why her hand was burned. There was a sadness in his face that he wasn't able to hide. He spoke softly and gently, "Please don't insult me by making up excuses. I can tell by the tone of your voice and they way you just said that, that's not what really happened. I won't push you to tell me the real story, but I could hazard a guess about how you got burnt." He turned back around and continued towards the living room.
Coming into the room, the first thing anyone would notice, was the fireplace. It was a unusual color of marble, blue mixed with grey and with hints of gold running throughout the entire face of the fireplace. There was currently a fire going inside of it and the gold shone as the light played upon the surface of the marble. There was a plush burgundy rug in front of the fireplace, big enough that two people could stretch out quite comfortably without running out of room. Comfortable looking chairs and small couches were scattered around the room in various places for guests to sit. There were enough places that up to 20 people would be able to fit comfortably into the room. Not that Eric had any social gatherings here since he had been turned into his current self.
He led Kari over towards the couch nearest the fire. It was a rich emerald color and the cushions were the kind you could sink into and never want to get up from again. The color of the couch complimented the rug very well. "I will just be a moment, please make yourself comfortable." He left her and went over to the right side of the room where a wooden cabinet stood, embellished with beautiful carvings of roses throughout the entire piece. He opened the doors and rummaged around though the contents, finally coming out with a first aid kit. Closing the doors to the cabinet, he went back over to where he had left the girl. He stood beside the couch uncertainty, not sure if she would allow him to sit by her so that he could tend to her burn.
