He watched her, almost expecting her to just shrug at him and run out the door. She didn't, instead she approached him again. This time when she held her hand up to him, he tilted his head towards it slightly. Allowing her to once again touch him, he didn't mind at all, it was a very unique way of communicating though talking seemed more convenient. Feelings washed over him and he was seeing things that he had never seen before. A lush room people were lounging in the room. To Kurako it looked much like a harem in the desert countries of his world. The half-elf was still, letting the woman show him the things of her world.
His lips parted slightly but Kurako was silent, a man got punished for merely looking at something? How barbaric. Then the feelings of wanting freedom slipped over him, followed by the fear and horror of punishment. It was hard not to get lost in those feelings, they were almost overwhelming to the half-elf. He had never experienced a fear like that before, his only fear was killing everyone and everything he loved. This was different though.
That man, poor man chained up and wasting away all because he had looked at something. There it was again though, that feeling of wanting to go outside, but then there was that fear He was glad when she pulled away, broke the contact, but just before he had glimpsed a man towering over her and she had been trembling. Kurako was trembling now. "Ed' i'ear ar' elenea!" He repeated his earlier exclamation but it was just a whisper now.
He looked down at his hands, they were shaking, but the fear was gone and he inhaled deeply with a shaky breath. "What a horrible place." He ran a hand through his hair again and moved from the wall, getting his own trembling under control rather quickly. "This place isn't like the place you come from. If you want to go outside, then go. No one will punish you for doing things here, and if anyone tries, well, I won't let them." He moved towards the door. The truth was Kurako didn't really know too much about what this place was like. Only that Solaris was a gentle host and that apparently those who came here were running from things.
A person can't run from themselves though. Kurako stepped through the door and looked over his shoulder to see if she would join him.
