[Oh boy. This is not looking good. But he relaxes somewhat as she listens to him, as that growl and the flash in her eyes start to recede. At least there won't be a misunderstanding, at least she isn't going for his throat. There's a knot of anxiety in him though that isn't going away.
When she closes her eyes he hesitates but then keeps moving closer. Unhurried steady steps. He's still wearing the clothes and weapons he had on him in the arena, the gear he slept in, was rained on and rolled in the mud in, no doubt smelling distinctly of the outdoors and grass and dirt besides his own unique characteristic smell of...toxic ozone. He's more human and not as powered as her Blight, but he's still radioactive in his physiology. There is no changing that.
He's close enough to touch but leaves room for her to pull away if he's crowding her. The last thing he needs is her misreading and panicking because he's in her bubble.]
It's all right. I'm here. Take all the time that you need.
