He began to hum softly a tune he'd heard upon his travels, his eyes seeking the sky above as his sister gave in. Her soft voice the only words that broke the lapping of the water along the shore. The musical lull that was drawn out of him was a lonely sound, like the howl of a loner on the wind. The two themselves though together now were just that before. The lonely and alone, horrible though that state may be was it worse to belong, to have friendship and comfort where monsters may lay.
The soft hum deep in his throat soon drew to a close as a soft sigh escaped his lips. He'd left the life of the roamer behind yet this world he'd entered in seemed tougher than what he'd left behind. To hide his knowledge of their ways, to have held friendship with those beasts, those monsters she saw when they were shifted. Anyone and everyone could have been one.. and yet you might live your whole life loving one.. and never know. He could see the terror she saw when what was seen was not what it was.. but he lived with it just the same.. he only wondered if she could.
