[There is a quick tension in his shoulders when Silco seeks contact with him again. But the moment passes in a blink of an eye and Richard finds himself relaxing against the man, a small smile forming on his lips as he tended to fire.]
It is an useful skill. One that may as well one day safe your life. [Even though Richard had learned by now not to expect there to be much similarities between their worlds, but it still baffled him to some decree to find out how... lacking some of the people here were with the basic knowledge. How to create a fire and nurture it was something that everyone ought to know, be they peasant or high born. Unless they were particularly sheltered. Even his own son, as meek and gentle he was, would eventually learn it, Richard's sure.
If Silco had been confused by Richard's earlier moments of fear and seeking out the pain, now it was Richard's turn to be taken aback by such a question. Did he really think he was going to send him away now? In a moment like this, after all that they just went though? Richard can feel his chest tightening, feeling a more heavy at the question presented him. Guess he wasn't the only one who feared rejection.
Richard slid his fingers along Silco's forearm, dragging them down until he could wrap them around the man's hand. He then, pulled it closer as he watched the man with soft eyes.]
