While it would take quite some time before Niusha rather warmed up to him, she appreciated the 'sorry'. The elf didn't have any real affection for the small town. It'd been a nice place to stay and she'd been learning a fair bit during her time there, but she'd not set down any sort of roots nor made any lasting friendships. The people had been wary of her, but polite. Moving on was... inconvenient, but Niusha spent a lot of her time traveling. The reason for the move was more upsetting than the move itself.
When he further apologized for not having a home for her, that actually confused Niusha just a little. Was that something... expected? She shook her head a little and found herself awkwardly saying, "No, no. I didn't expect you to have a house..." Which, she didn't. Neither did she understand why he was sorry he didn't, but she didn't like how upset it had made him either.
This whole situation was just... odd...
Niusha didn't exactly look at him while she spoke. "Maybe we could go stay in some other town? Put some distance between us and... all of..." Her words trailed off and she made a vague gesture, a wave that included much of the things around them. A real change of scenery would be nice. Even having a sense of purpose or destination beyond right where they were. Niusha did like to travel and she did like learning new things.
There was a little bit of a silver lining, then.
