"Ravenous? Heh... do my eyes betray me so readily?"

He laughs, before nodding. "It is true, you are an attractive man- I would be a fool to not see it for myself."

And it is painfully obvious to Hythlodaeus that Lahabrea needs the human contact. Besides- although he doesn't bring it up, his more innocent reasoning for sharing his bed with another is simply to keep the nightmares away. Even if they really did nothing but sleep, Hythlodaeus finds that close contact helps him feel more secure.

"But my intentions aren't wholly lascivious, I promise you! I propose for now, perhaps having a conversation while sharing said bed. Talk to me about your concepts, perhaps. Or anything interesting that has happened to you here."

He boldly reaches out to take Lahabrea by the hand, smiling. "And we will fulfil the whims of this world in the process simply by holding hands."
