Re: Later that evening
Very, very close. He very nearly turns into the embrace, tempted to kiss her. He scolds himself internally and steels himself, remaining faced forward, but not pulling away in the least. It is not for him to initiate such intimacy, and certainly not here, even as attractive as she is, and after it has been so long since he's felt a woman's touch - he wants to - but he must be proper, lest he insult her and drive her away.
Its still a few moments of internal battle before he recalls her words enough to respond. "The same, and yet different. You have lived in this world, seen it change, for almost a century. I have but a few years in this world - and many centuries on the mountain where nothing ever changed save the pattern of snows on the mountain. Still... so much of this is so new to me."
