Feli's nervousness grew as Rey stayed silent. He though she was going kick him out, or not want to help him stop the Taint, or any number of bad things. Most people didn't like him so he just assumed that every new person he met was the same. And now the silence was telling him that Rey felt the same way. He sighed, about to get up when she spoke again. For a moment he didn't think he had heard her correctly. She didn't care that he was a Halfkin? It was probably the nicest thing anyone had ever said to him. He couldn't help but smile, just a tiny bit.

"Not many people are like you." He stated, eyeing the dried meat once again. "Most would hate me simply because of what I am." Feli almost didn't know what to do with someone who didn't hate him. So few people had that it was a new thing to him. Now all he had to do was convince her to leave everything and journey with him who knows where in order to end the Taint. Because he knew he couldn't do it himself. But it still had to be done. Even without anyone by his side, he still would try.

"I must ask you. Will you come with me? To follow the trails and stop the Taint?" Feli believed that they could do it. It could take a while, and it could kill them. But couldn't everything these days? It was a risk going, but they would die one day anyway. Either from the Taint or by the hands of someone else. Nobody died peaceful deaths anymore.
