[ Essek had.. feared that too; that Bren would think that he was a stand-in, a replacement for the man above within the entrapment of a memory above the mantleplace, the glow of the firelight and how it cast over the beautiful tableaux of domesticity. He'd stared at that portrait many times, while he ached for that back. But it would never he that again, he knew this irrevocably. Even with Bren dressed up in Caleb's clothing, this man was different, had grown differently due to different circumstances and enviroments. This was Bren, not Caleb.
His hand was caught even as he tried to escape, but he did not move further because of that hand. Rather his cool fingers slid into the warm protection of Bren's calloused hand where it was kept hostage, though not unwelcome. The name uttered, the name of his late husband and he nodded, the movement of his head sending that lock of curled hair that fell to the left, to lightly bounce. ]
Yes, Caleb Widogast was his name and I do not believe it is a coincidence but conversely I know you are not him, you are Bren.
[ He was attempting to formulate his words, to be gentle with them. Very few recieved this gentleness from Lord Thelyss, normally terse and unreadable, he was displaying too much emotion and he felt naked and raw from it. ]
Because this is not coincidence, you will recieve sanctuary for as long as you require it though I would prefer that you allow me to do a bit of research on this.. Ikithon, so I may assess the threat to your safety. I would prefer it if you did not leave until I have ascertained and assured your safety beyond these walls.
[ Essek Thelyss would not press commitment, only time and paired it with the acknowledgement that Bren was his own person, could choose and perhaps it was not wise to choose just yet. He was cautious and he knew that Bren was likely cautious as well with his entire situations. ]
