Neverwinter Forest Phantom of borrowed life,

He was content to more or less ignore her, as he wasn't exactly keen on getting her too attached to him. But when she started up a conversation he set his teeth together, realizing that he'd been stupid to think that any woman would want his company and not also expect conversation. The wolves of Neverweinter were far too kind to him- he had a long list of several wolves who would have done anything to get him to shut up at one point in his life. 

The question she asked caused him to flinch and send an excruciatingly incredulous look in her direction, and when he relaxed a bit, he shuffled himself perhaps an inch further away from her. He was definitely the sort who read too far into those kinds of questions. "Fuck no." He said. "I hate kids."

He'd settle into silence then, content to enjoy her company and share warmth with her and would nod off into slumber before the conversation could pick back up again.
