Grunblawu was not gone long. He had left most of the logs by the stump and brought only a few back home and his ax. He was a bit shocked to hear the music coming from his shack and he stopped outside and listened to it for a moment. It was so strange to hear something so sweet coming from there. He looked down at the ground a moment before taking a slow breath and opening the only door to his shack. Apart from the bed there was very little in the shack. A fire place near more towards the foot of the bed, a solid wood table never to a dresser for food, and near the door were hangers with traps and tools one would need to live off the forest. As well as to the right of the door was a rather fine outfit of brown leather. The finest thing that was in the shack.
Grunblawu looked over at Cian and gave a bit of a smile, "Are you alright now? You blacked out. I tried to keep you cool so I brought you back to my place. I think you might have a bit of heat stroke...I will get you some water if you like." He asked picking up a class from the one table. There were only three mis-matched mugs next to three plates and two bowls. Near the fire place a iron pot, fyrying pan and a griddle hung. It was all rather rustic.

Cian stopped when the door opened and managed a small embarrassed smile. He could almost hear Jacob clear as day. You fainted? Don't tell me you are turning into one of those... females... "Water would be good. Sorry for putting you through the trouble..." He looked around the shack and smiled lightly. He found the mismatched array rather interesting. He bit his lip lightly as he looked at the pale stallion. He really had a good heart. It was really strange considering his household life was far from idyllic.

Grunblawu gave a nod of his head, "Please don't worry. You don't way much. If you would like I can share my dinner with you. There should be more than enough once I start cooking." He gave a nod of his head, "I shall leave the door open for you if it is a bit stuffy." he offered as he stepped back out of the door with the mug in his hands. He did leave the door partly open as he walked out and towards a near by well. He filled the mug and returned to the shack. "Sorry if my home is not as fine as your used too." he said as he held out the mug for the other stallion. He did not sound embarrassed of it just stating something point of fact.

The smaller stallion looked at him. He was straight forward and there was no hesitation or embarrassment on his part. He took the cup and drank it calmly. It was strange, the feeling he had around this stallion... it was more than the initial attraction. He stood and set the cup on the table. "I've never met anyone as kind as you..." He stepped closer and kissed his cheek, "Thank you, Grunblawu."

Grunblawu watched as Cian too a few calm drinks from the mug and had been just about to more towards the table when the smaller male got up from the bed and came over to kiss his cheek. This action seemed to stun the splotched male who stared his eyes slightly wide at Cian for a few moments. "Of course. It is what anymeah would do right? You blacked out I could not leave you out there in the sun." He for a moment seemed to get all embarrassed and he turned to look towards the low burning fire. "I...i am not that kind. I am sure you know lots of more kind Meah but thank you Cian."

"No I haven't... my family isn't really the nicest mearhs ever... I have two brothers and I haven't seen the nice one since I was little. His kind of estranged. The nicer of my father's is rude and ignores anything not involving music and my other father... he is... he may as well be the grim reaper..." He sat back on the bed and sighed, "Kindness is a strange thing for me..."

Grunblawu tilted his head a bit shocked, "Well your very nice. So something good came out of your family. And you have a nice brother...are there no females in your family?" He asked his look rather confused now. he had left the door open when he came back in to allow a breeze to flow about him. And he moved over to sit down on the bed trying to work the family dynamics out in his head.

"I have manners... not kindness... The one who foaled us, Donovan, told us that he had taken a potion from a woman in the Tower and he was able to get pregnant like a female... he then went to the shrine of Seldrima and asked for all boys because his mate, Jacob, might kill or maim any females."

Grunblawu looked even more shocked and it looked like he was trying hard to comprehend all that was being said to him. "So you were born from two stallions? No mare involved at all? Can potions really do that now a days?" He blushed a bit and looked at the floor of his shake, "But your fathers are still together. That says something about them. And...well maybe I am just a stallion with manners too? I don't think I am that nice..." he said softly his tail flicking. "I...I am glad though you did not have any sisters. I would hate to know that they were mamed before being killed. I would not like anything to happen to you either Cian."

Cian felt his face heat up lightly when Grunblawu said that he was didn't want anything to happen to him. "I-I suppose you have a point about my fathers..." That was when he finally risked looking up at the larger stallion. His blush sill fresh on his face, "You offered to let me stay for dinner... but could I stay through the night?"

Grunblawu had not looked back up at the other stallion just yet. And even after Cian's question it took him a moment before he slowly lifted his head, "I only have the one bed...but if you need a place to stay then of course you can stay. What kind of Mearh would I be to refuse you? It should be a warm enough night tonight that I can sleep outside and leave my bed to your." He stood and nods, "I should show you were the bathroom is and the water...if case you need them tonight." He said moving towards Cian slowly. Was this stallion's life at home really that bad? He bit his lip thinking about the mearh would come out of Fane's estate and looked down, "I will show you the bathroom...but I will bring a bucket of water in for you tonight incase you need it."

This was so strange, Cian was completely out of his comfort zone after he had blacked out. Normally he was a sarcastic stallion who oozed confidence. Right now, however, he last thing he wanted to be was alone. "I don't want to be alone...couldn't we just share the bed?" He felt like such a child.

Maybe when he had blacked out Cian had hit his head. If that were the case then it would be best not to leave him alone. The tall stallion gave a bit of a nod, "If that is what you would prefer and you will not think less of me then we can share my bed. It is big enough. It would be easier than finding me in the dark if you need anything. With it almost a new moon it gets really dark at night." he said and moved over to place a calloused hand on Cian's shoulder. "Don't worry I will protect you from anything lurking in the woods tonight."

"I won't think less of you..." What is wrong with me? Am I ill? I'm shaking... Cian doubled over and gasped for air in shock the mere fact that he was receiving true concern in a way that was not laced with sarcasm or a dark and almost evil tone. This stallion was the exact opposite of Jacob and it shocked him physically. He reached for the cup again and gulped the water down. He shut his eyes and took slow deep breaths to calm down.

Grunblawu's eyes went wide as Cian doubled over in front of him seemingly at his touch. Maybe it would not be good for them to share the bed if his touch could send Cian into this. He helped the other stallion get the water and knelt down next to him putting a gentle arm around Cian's shoulder, "Its okay. Just breath....slow deep breaths. Good....just let that." his voice though a bit higher with worry was still slow and deep. "Thats good Cian....its okay. Here....lets get you back into the bed. I think the sun really did get to you you should stay laying down for a bit....do you think you can walk or should I carry you to the bed?" he asked wanting to try and keep the weaken stallion more comfortable. if it was his touch causing this he was sure Cian would not want to be carried.
