For little more than a second did her attention drift from the stranger, touching upon the two who made their approach after her, making not of how each reacted to the situation before them. Gentle curiosity tempered by a wary edge, a caution out of necessity for the situation yet giving way to nothing more than a simple want to learn more, to see how things played out. And then there was a frown drawn across pale maw, hinting at something she might deem annoyance, as though this were a mere inconvenience, words directed to all but the man he spoke of. So different and yet similar in ways, the response were not what Ishayu expected and for a time she struggled to now question them, wonder as to why both approached a scene with one prepared to offer only harm with such calmness, until the stranger spoke.
Cloud. Maroon toned eyes found him once more and she wondered briefly if he truly was alright as he said, clearly struggling to keep himself within a calm state, yet she was not one to judge. All too fresh was her own experience with barring anger, holding back the heat of it though it curled within the stomach, a living snake of fire scorching all it touched, seeking only to tear down what dared get in her way. Fictional brow lowered and the Dawnguard spoke within a softer voice, allowing some small ounce of worry to touch each word, worry for both those by her and for Cloud himself, not wishing for this anger he had shown them to be directed towards himself
“Welcome Cloud, I am sorry for my behaviour I just... worry,” carefully did she think through her next words before speaking once more, small smile curling her lips. “If you wish I will show you about the town and I am happy to answer any questions to might have. Oh, I am Ishayu, a Dawnguard.” The position would hold no meaning to him now yet it slipped through as her former had not, bearing a weight she was unaccustomed to. It was her place to welcome others, to make them feel apart of things, but the offer was more to allow her to keep an eye on him for a time, make sure he didn't slip into that anger once more when none were around to stop him from harming another.
