Nico sat, shivering slightly, on her bike, still watching the door. She looked faintly puzzled as the man removed his coat and shoes, but said nothing.
He has his reasons, I suppose
When she heard the sound of glass breaking, she opened her eyes with a start and jumped off her bike. She went to run back into the house, but stopped at the doorway, frozen. She leaned against the frame and slid down to the ground.
She didn't move until she smelled burning. Then she lifted her head and saw the smoke drifting over the top of the house.
I thought he said he was going to bury..... she breathed in sharply the body...not burn it.
She shivered again, and drew her knees up again, hugging her knees. She closed her eyes and waited for the man to come back.

Leo made sure the fire would not catch and burn down the house. It would die out once it had burt all its resorces. Leo walked around the house and up to the girl. "The fire will die out soon and the house will smell less once it has been left to air" He went to get his coat and shoes, but paused. He noticed an outside tap. He walked over to it and turned it on. He proceeded to wash off all the dirt and smell and drink some of the water. Once he was clean to his satisfaction he collected his coat and shoes.

Nico listened to the mans footsteps as he returned, and his voice, but didn't open her eyes.
"Airing? Is that why you broke the windows?"
She opened her eyes and looked up and watched as he washed the dirt off his hands and drank.
"What exactly are you burning?" She asked him. Her voice was slightly more composed now, but still quiet.

"Correct He said after he had drunk. He walked back over to her with his coat and shoes on. "All the things that were in the house that smelt worse"

"Oh."
She looked at the floor for a moment before pulling herself up off the ground.
"Thank you." She said again. She looked at him for a moment.
"You know, I don't even know your name, and yet you have done all this for me. Why?"

"You are welcome" A broad smile spread over his face, "Because you asked for help" he said simply.

Nico couldn't help but smile back.
"Once again, thank you."
She looked at him with interest.
"What is your name, anyway?"

"My name" he said thoughtfully, the smile fading. He stared off into the distance for a while his eyes glazing over as if he was trying to remember it. "... Leo..." he said unsure. He paused again "Leo Silvêr" He said with a triumphant smile beaming on his face.

Nico wasn't sure whether to laugh or be worried. She settled for looking a little confused. She shrugged it off.
I guess nobody's asked his name in a while.
"My name is Nicola...." She paused. "Nico. Nico Smith." She said, smiling still.
She pushed the horror of what had just happened out of her mind, after glancing at the open door again.
"I think I'd like to get out of here for a while..." She said, more to herself than Leo.
"Walk with me?"

Leo's smile broaded at when she told him her name. He seemed please that someone had trusted him with her name. "Nicola" he said to himself comitting it to memory. "I will walk with you if that is what you wish, for as I have said, I have no where else to be"

Nico started to correct Leo, but stopped. He didn't seem like the type of man to go for nicknames. Instead, she smiled at him and fetched her bag from where she had left it by the bike.
"Do you think my bike will be safe here?" She asked.

"I do not know. I could bring it with us if you require it?" He said, asking the first question he had asked in awhile.

Nico looked at him in confusion. She had certainly picked an odd man to ask for help.
"Bring it.. withh us? What do you mean, ride it?"

Nico started to laugh, and stopped herself immediatly, remembering that she was talking to a lycan.
"No, its alright... it... it'll be alright here."
She smiled, and swung her bag over one shoulder.
"Shall we?"
