She was very shy seeming, for a woman who'd had her head in his lap. But perhaps it was different when he was clothed. It made little enough difference to him, but mortals had very strong feelings about that sort of thing.
He frowned as she began to gesture again, things that still meant nothing to him. Trying to indicate that she was in pain, perhaps? Jack had no such trouble, now, though he was much hungrier than he'd been. Practically ravenous. He'd have eaten as many parts of her as he could, if that brand hadn't made him cautious. It seemed like it might catch in his throat, metaphorically speaking.
For now he settled for moving suddenly next to her, one moment there and one moment not, and pressing his lips to her shoulder. It drew the pain out of her, and he swallowed it whole, though it was still barely a trifle. Of course, pain carried with it feeling, and caution besides. They would all of them return to her in time, but for now she would have to do without.
Most people didn't notice the less favorable side effects of that trick, anyway. She could have just drank of the grove, but that wouldn't have given him anything to eat.
"There," he said, as if he had answered a question she had not asked. "Now will you try your new voice?" he asked, offering the lute again though he could not force it into her hands, still standing very close. "See if it suits you."
