"What? Holding you?" he laughed. "We're going to have time for that. In fact, my bed isn't all that big so you're going to have to suck it up tonight and stay close." His bed being a mattress on the floor and a couple of blankets and pillows. He didn't want help from anyone and aside from the anti-possession amulet he'd gotten from the complex, he hadn't taken anything. He'd made it that far on his own, his pride at work.
Pulling back from her, he lifted the anti-possession amulet from inside his shirt and over his head. He slipped the chain over her head. "Might not go with what you're wearing but I want you to keep that on." He lowered his voice. "The demons around here get around by possessing people. I don't want to have to go chasing after you to perform an exorcism." He'd take care of himself. Her being the new kid in the area, his priority was making sure she stayed safe.
Slipping his hands into hers, he gave it a gentle tug. "How about we go find somewhere else to talk? Hungry?"
