"Intriguing," he said. Either the young woman had excellent instincts, or there was something else going on. Her straightening, however, and her loud thought of 'What is this?' startled him as well. His eyes widened, eyebrows winging upward, and...well, if she were a landen, she would not have felt a mental brush.
"You didn't--you didn't interrupt. Nor were you rude," Daemon said, holding out a hand to indicate he'd like her to stay. He shifted on the barstool, physically holding himself back from lunging to do something dramatic, like grab her arm. "You were right. I could use a friendly ear, if you'd like to chat." He gave her as gentle a smile as he could, hopefully nonthreatening. He couldn't do without allies here, if at all possible. Lowering his voice, he added, half a guess, "You sound like you could use a friend ear as well?"
