Not having to worry about hiding his wings (he does check that the amulet is still in fact tied around his throat before they pass the wall into the village) while walking shirtless is still a little unsettling, but he turns his focus elsewhere as they walk.

(Typically, he would be throwing off subtle signals for those nearby to turn, to look away, to find something else less interesting to pay attention to. But he does not do that, here, unsure if it would even work - and he doesn't want to give off any hints of what he's capable of to those who might be sensitive.)

The energy he can feel is easily noticed, because the young men aren't bothering to try to hide it. Both the attention to Kreyu, and the envy, which is something else quite odd as it is...incredibly unfamiliar.

He stays quiet, but walks closer to her, slightly protective. They can look all the want (even if he'd rather they didn't) but they can't touch.
