Jena peeked up at Rhys through her hair. The awkwardness in his response caught her attention, but that was what she liked about Rhys. He wasn't like anyone else.
"Every man I meet, usually, here want nothing but my body." she said, sitting up. Jena placed a hand on her chest, indicating to herself. "Which is why I was on guard when we met. I usually have to chase people away..." a sigh left her and she slumped back down onto the pillow. "I just want a friend, someone to cherish."
A smile broke out and she reached out, since they weren't that far apart and ruffled up his hair.

His brows raised in understanding. Now that it was spelled out for him, he understood what she was referencing. He had enough years observing and wandering around humans to know that not all of them treated their women with the respect they deserved.
"You shall have one." It bothered him that Jena had to put up with that and he was already resolved to try and fix it for her. Once more he opened his mouth to say something.
Then she was ruffling his hair and all the bluster drained out of him. He blinked, smirked, and reminded himself this wasn't a vicious action. He had seen humans do it to each other. But he wasn't used to it. Unfortunately, while ducking away he shifted too far and thus slipped off his cushion to the ground. He sat there a moment before a deep chuckled escaped him.
"Oops." he mumbled as he righted himself on the cushion again, his hair properly ruffled.

Jena's hand was left in the air as Rhys suddenly ducked away and fell to the floor. She stared down at him for a moment, but once he was back upon his pillow, she covered her mouth and laughed. "Maybe I should warn you before I do that again so as to not have you fall again." she said, still giggling, amused.
Folding her arm beneath her again, she rested her head upon the pillow this time and watched Rhys. "You're definitely not like anyone else I've ever met."

He chuckled and dropped his gaze down for a moment, considering her statement. Of course he wasn't, but then again.., he studied his hand as it rested on his knee, he was pretending to be.
"Well, there's a reason for that." he glanced back up at her with a smirk, and this time his gaze was different. The golden color of his irises were now standing out in sharp contrast to the whites of his eyes which had turned black. "I'm not like anyone else." he said while the smirk widened to a grin.
"And you, Jena, are one of the best people I have had the pleasure of meeting."

A soft frown wrinkled Jena's countenance and she watched Rhys, wondering why he looked down like that. Had she said something to upset him? However, when he looked at her again, a soft gasp left her lips.
But that was nothing compared to the blush that crossed her face. It was the most brilliant of the night and she immediately hid her face in her arms again. Heart racing, she stared at the pillow beneath her. "Y-you're... very kind..." she managed to get out, but was still so surprised and flattered that she couldn't look at him.

He was sure that this wasn't a bad reaction this time. He had caught sight of her blush before she hid it behind her arms and she sounded truly appreciative of the compliment.
"Thank you." He tilted his head and leaned a little closer, wondering when she was going to emerge from her curtain of arms and hair. "But not many people have been as kind to me as you have, so the thanks should be returned."
When she didn't emerge he shifted on his pillow and leaned close, trying to get a peek at her face behind its cover. He lightly reached out to brush some of her hair away to try and make this task easier.
"Are you going to come out now?"

Jena stayed hidden, listening to what Rhys said but still suddenly flustered to even look up at him. Why was he making her like this? No one had before and she was an old Jinn too! Even if she looked to be about twenty years of age.
She jumped when a hand touched her hair and she couldn't help but look up and meet those golden eyes. She didn't answer right away and continued to stare into those gems.

"There you are." he exclaimed as she started to raise her head. He was glad the words seemed to work.
But when their eyes met he hesitated. He found he liked the amethyst shade of hers and he found them easy to get lost in. He blinked and smirked at himself. He was sounding like a simple magpie collecting something shiny.
"I didn't... embarrass you did I?"

Jena felt like a little kid when he said that, but it didn't bother a bit. In fact, even if she puffed out her cheeks and looked pouty, she was appreciative of the affection.
"No," she said, shaking her head in answer to his question. "Well... I've never had someone say that to me before..." Jena found her self leaning into his hand in spite of herself.

He grinned at the expression on her face. It did remind him of the human children when they got a little grumpy. He felt the pressure of her head in his hand. He supposed if it bothered her she would have moved. He brushed her hair back once more before her words sunk in and his hand stopped as he hesitated.
"You mean the best person thing I said?" It wasn't the most eloquent summary of the statement, but it would do. "But it's the truth. I know we've just met, but my experiences with others weren't always this pleasant." He brushed his hand over her hair once more and sat up, since his leaning posture as getting a little uncomfortable.
