Wind gave a small shrug at the compliments, "You can take the bed, the fireplace keeps the bedroom warmer than in here and I've got plenty of blankets as well," he suggested softly, sliding his hands into his pockets as he moved to lean one shoulder against the mantlepiece.
"And the bed's so big because I toss around alot when I sleep...," he added, part of him wondering why he even had to explain... Of course, his tossing in his sleep was due to nightmares, but he wasn't about to explain that much.
He didn't even want to explain why he'd planned the place out for two people with only himself in it. It was just too pathetic to even contemplate explaining to anyone.
Still, he was simply offering the room... A place to stay...
Admittedly, Aten was beautiful to look at, but he still didn't see what anyone would see in himself. He'd spent too many years being cast aside from the few lovers he'd been able to attract to be able to believe that there was something keepable about him.
Still, He had to focus on the here and now, "Go ahead and use the bed, there's plenty of room even for a Naga...," he finished with a small teasing smile.

Wind gave a startled sound as Aten shifted and pulled him down with his coils, his hands landing on the floor on either side of the naga's head. He even had a startled look on his face, "I won't confirm or deny either, but if you simply want someone to cuddle with I'm okay with that...," he said with a small startled laugh.
But Aten was just so close right now and he had to admit that he liked being held after so long alone... however, admitting that he was that pathetic was just too much to admit to...
"Anything more than that...," he gave a shall shake of his head that sent his dark hair scattering around them, "I'm not really one for just a night or two anymore, Aten... I want someone for keeps... Someone who would stay around this time...," he admitted, then had to clear his throat....

Now he felt bad. But he used a finger on Aten's chin to turn his face to him, "Then tonight we can cuddle.... Tonight we can simply hold onto something warm that reminds us that we're still alive... Tomorrow, you can choose a room and I'll see about showing you around the castle... We'll see how things go from there," he said softly before raising one eyebrow at him.
With the raised eyebrow came a small smile, "I told you, you're safe in this hallway... It cannot be found unless you've been invited to stay in it by a resident. I live here, I've invited you to stay at the castle... You can live in one of the rooms in the hallway and sleep in safety... Believe me, there are plenty of us who know what it's like to be hunted....," he gave a small growl that just slipped out over the last word.
Okay, staying in this position without doing anything was getting a bit redundant, "Let's just move to the bed, Aten. It will be much more comfortable to continue the conversation, not to mention warmer...," he suggested, hoping that the naga would allow him that.
It wasn't that Aten wasn't attractive. He was. Very attractive. But he hadn't been given any warning when Aten had wrapped his coils around him and now a certain area was feeling a bit painful since it couldn't be adjusted...
There were times that being a guy had disadvantages....

Wind let out a small sigh as Aten let him up followed by a groan as Margaret started pounding on the door and ranting about something involving 'bewitched water'.
"Go ahead and get some sleep, Aten. I'll see to this and get back to you," he said in a resigned tone, fairly certain that he wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight.
Still, he got up and opened the door, a stern look on his face, "Margaret! You should know better than to have such hysterics by now over a little bit of magic! Bloody Hell woman! You even witnessed some of my first magical mistakes and didn't panic then! So get hold of yourself, get back to the boy, and send a message to Crisdean that he's needed! After all, the man was fully able to handle my little foibles and keep my sister contained as well. I think he can handle a little water elemental magic from a human child. Otherwise Sebastet is going to have to get you replaced with someone who can handle the magic around the castle without flying into a full blown panic over a few flying orbs of water, much less any of the other stuff that goes on around here!" he chastised her soundly and got her back under her own control.
"Either do as I've stated, or send one of the other girls to watch over him who won't panic while you pack your things and go for Crisdean anyway. He should be in the village, from what I understand from my sister. Make your choice, woman," he finally stated in a more calm voice, hoping that he wouldn't have to slap her....

It was all Wind could do to keep from laughing as the water floated down the hall and hit the poor woman in the face. Especially after she'd tossed her nose up in the air over his choice of companionship. She was lucky he was in control of his own brand of magic or she'd have had much worse than balls of water to deal with.
As he closed the door, he leaned against it with a soft sigh and closed his eyes. Then he thumped his head against the door because he just knew he was going to walk right back out of the room, go down to the bathhouse, and take the boy on...
He got a look at Aten through the fireplace and actually bit his lip to keep from whimpering. This was so not fair...
He cleared his throat and pushed away from the door, heading into the bedroom and straight into his closet. Inside, he got rid of the robe and pulled on a button-down shirt instead, doing up most of the buttons on his way out of the closet.
He froze when he got a proper look at Aten in his bed, forcing himself to shake his head to break away from the image. Yeah, he'd gotten hit right between the eyes with the handsome-hammer.
He cleared his throat a bit, "I'd better go down there before he drowns her... Or she drowns him... Either one sounds like a possibility at the moment...," he said without looking at the bed.
If he looked at the bed again, he wasn't getting out of the room...
And he needed to get out of the room before murder happened...
