In the back of his mind, while his new friend got situated, Jinn wondered when the best time to ask about the lycanthropy would be. Certainly not right after he’d changed—he
didn’t know the process but would bet it took it out of a person—and it
seemed out-of-place to mention it in a greeting.When J’hasi next spoke he swallowed hard.”U-uh… Jinn,” said Jinn. “Ju-just Jinn… Wh-what’s… What’s yours?”
The Khajiit’s teeth started to chatter, incisors clicking before a burst of shivering left his jaw too tense to speak for a few moments. He blew hot air into his hands curled up near his face before he finally answered.
“M’name’s J-J-J’hasi.” he said, closing his eyes tightly as he curled tighter around the warmth trapped around his stomach and his legs.
“J-Just one J-J in there th-though.” he said, a brief grin quirking at his lips before he looked at the fire. Being sore and cold was one thing, but the exhaustion was making everything seem worse, amplified. He closed his eyes, resting his forehead on his knees for a few moments in quiet, save for the crackle-pop of the flames. When warmth finally started to bleed through to the sides of him, the front part of his body feeling almost painfully hot, he started to feel heavy and sleepy. The Khajiit lifted his head, looking at the flames for a few minutes more before he finally broke the silence.
“Sorry about before. I had no intentions of harming you. I just wanted you to leave so I could finish eating before I shifted back.” he mumbled, his voice sounding rougher before he cleared his throat and rested his chin on his arms curled up in front of him, his tail curling around to get more warmth soaking into his fur.
