Dio remained quiet during the whole exchange, he knew very well what would happen if he was found out. He bowed politely and followed Akina just as she instructed. While Dio had no issues being in holy areas he could feel it on the air that he was not welcomed here. The only place he could feel relaxed was near Akina, perhaps because of her kind and accepting heart.
He made sure no one could hear them before whispering to her “where are we headed? You mentioned a tavern to the guards.” He remained close to her but kept his hands to himself especially now. The vampire still felt hot and his eyes kept wondering towards her but he knew when to behave.
"Yes." she nodded to him. "For now I will have you living in a tavern so that you may get situated for the night." it was much safer now that he had his fill of blood. She wondered how often he would have to feed in order to not chase people... Dio did show restraint but Akina did not want to take any chances.
"Will that be a problem? I cannot guarantee you a house since you just came here." that usually took time.
“That won’t be a problem at all but I do have some question. For example, who will pay for it? Won’t they have questions about me? And what am I to do once I’m there, do I just wait for you to return?” He wanted to make sure he knew as much as he could, uncertainty and doubt are plagues of the mind and he wanted nether.
“Once we get there, are you going to leave me there alone?” He had calmed down quite a bit but the heat still remained within him as well as a thirst.
