Kiera giggles softly and smiles happily "I'm fine no need to do anything for me honestly I don't have any friends really". Kiera had a strange feeling he never had before , it's like butterflies in his stomach as he then began to imagine things between him and the other male as his face turned extremely red and he quickly looked away laughing nervously "I -um - uh ... well honestly I've never had any kind of relationship at all ,come to think of it"

Ren smiles kindly down at Keira simply, as he'd ruffle the boys hair up delicately, before he'd speak "Aw come on~ you look like you're skin and bones anyways, so I might as well help out around here... Maybe I could even train you?" He ask the other curiously, and as for the comment earlier about his friend Sebastian the male and him have been rather close, ever since he's first met the male. Even so much to the point that he's spotted Sebastian spying on him getting changed every so often, he must be worried if a person will just burst through his windows and kidnap him somewhere. But thankfully the male is extremely strong and buff, so he can easily take care of himself.

"By the way... Why are you skinny anyways? You look like you haven't eaten in day-" He'd ask as he'd turn away and opens up the cabinets and only seeing a case of noodles and opens up the fridge only seeing a couple of eggs in an egg carton "Hmm..."

Kiera tilted his head confused as he grabbed his bow and arrow "the thing is I'm bad at protecting myself and hunting...all I can really do is keep myself from getting sick " Kiera sighs "another thing is I hate hurting animals so I just stay away from meat so hunting isn't a problem but I usually kill animals that would attack but again I can't protect myself properly and plants are well decent " Kiera set the bow and arrows down as the male put his hair in a ponytail and two pointed elf ears could be seen instead of normal ears

Ren scratches his chin in thought a bit, as he'd observe the male curiously in response *Man this boy is sort of cute... I wonder if he's of age...* he'd check his watch out of curiosity as he'd see it's about 6 o'clock in the morning as he smiles simply, and speaks "How's about I help you gather up some food for the next hour? But as soon as it hits 7 I have to take off understand?" He'd ask as he'd watch the boy, and felt strangely intrigued by him, sure he's seen elves roam around here and there, but he's never really seen one so dang cute.

"I'm practically a master at hunting, and well anything physical at this point. I've trained myself a lot on my journeys, so I don't have to be just some stupid and weak person. Before I was well, a weak and frail boy until I met Sebastian, and he taught me how to take a couple of punches."

"pain doesn't bother me it's just that I can't protect myself properly" Kiera sighs as he looked up at the calendar and at the last day of the month it says *21 birthday*

Kiera then grabbed a pair of sheets "and also I understand perfectly but really you don't need to help I'm fine really" Kiera said plainly as he walked out the door going to a near by fenced in tiny garden but most of the plants were dead and Kiera reached and grabbed a fern putting it in his satchel that he wore on his hip

Kiera then began walking around the forest a little as he talked to himself "I don't understand why I would have these feelings for someone I just met ..... I shouldn't feel that submissive and needy ....it's obvious that I am but why would that man want to help someone like me?!"

Ren narrows his eyes at this simply before sighing and grabbing ahold of the bow and arrows as he'd hesitate somewhat before he'd look over to the practically dead garden right in front of him and the boy, before he'd stand to his feet "Well... I suppose I'll just get going then." He states planning on so doing something for the cute boy...

And about 30 minutes or so later after taking off the man would arrive with a bag of groceries he bought at a store nearby, and a couple of dead rabbits as he'd lay them down first before he'd knock on the door patiently, as he'd wait there with a kind smile on his lips.

He knew he could risk sharing his identity with the rest of the village, but the least he could do is help this poor boy out. After all he's weak and malnourished, his mother before his step mother would probably be smiling down upon him at this very moment, because she always said to have courage and be kind to others. While his new step mother thinks the exact opposite, and even morphed his father into someone hateful and resentful, even his two younger brothers have learned to follow the step mothers orders except for him. Because no matter what, the young man knows that he should do what's right.
