The other had a smell about him. Something Grian couldn't place. A presence and a smell. It was the smell that first reached him and stirred him slightly. Then, he felt the movement beside him and first thought that there was a snake in the bed. A heavy, people-eating snake. With arms. That curled close to him.

Still, he said nothing, and raised a shaky hand to thread through the other's hair, maybe to calm himself and the potential murderer.
