Lemy forced his fur to lie flat on his skin when he heard the woman speak, tearing his eyes away from the sobbing male to watch Rin's actions. He caught her glance and sent her a honeyed smile.
Lemy brought his attention back to the other male, listening quietly as he babbled out warnings and scrambled away from them. Lemy's smile turned frigid as he watched the spectacle, mind churning as he processed the words. Everything about the scene set him on edge, for various reasons. If the guy had just been snacking on a rabbit, that'd be fine. They were animals; they ate raw meat, much to Lemy's chagrin. But finding an amnesiac crying near a torn corpse? Implying that he wasn't able to control any urges that might hurt them?
And they were just expected to believe him?
Lemy was about to open his mouth to suggest that, yes, leaving would be an excellent idea when Rin spoke. His teeth clattered shut and his smile slipped off his face, replaced by a look of genuine bafflement. For once, his blank gaze flickered with emotion; alarm and confusion swirling together its blue depths. You're shitting me, was the unspoken statement in his eyes. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
She was just going to allow a clearly unstable stranger to flounce his way into the town, just like that? Because she thought she could help him? Shit, he wasn't one to talk, after all, he must've been missing some marbles too, but at least Lemy wasn't breaking down and warning others to stay away from him. Remarks and observations bounced in his mind, none of them pleasant.
Lemy swallowed his words and nodded along with Rin, countenance melting into something more amiable. "Yuup! Rinny's right, mister Rabbit," he finally spoke, stretching as he moved from his spot to begin walking back to the town, "we're all real nice here, so don't worry about leaving. There's looots of people in town that'd probably help you too," his words were sickening sweet, an unintentional second meaning to them that he tried not to acknowledge.
Whatever. If the man tried to pull anything, Lemy would be ready to reply with a dagger to the throat.
Lemy tilted his head at the request for his name, releasing a soft hum. "Well, name's Lemy! Nice 'ta meet ya, mister Rabbit," he pointed his tail at Rin afterwards, "that's Rin! She's our super-duper ultra nice leader. A real sweetheart," a real bleeding heart, he wanted to say.
