Letty's eyebrows went up, not sure she agreed with a name making the creature less scary. He could be named pumpkin muffin for all she cared, and he would still be the most terrifying beast she had ever seen. Well, it would be rude to critique a stranger's naming habits while she was sat in their bed, and Leticia tried to remain polite.
She had to admit, though, the mention of guns impressed her deeply, and the image of Hayate proudly posing with a large rifle struck her as very impressive. Inching away from the headboard, Leticia found herself relaxing more, able to put more faith and trust in her new friend.

"I hope I'm not imposing on you. It's awfully kind of you to let me stay here — and in your bed. Can I do anything in return? Like ah ... Tidy... " Leticia cast a dubious glance around the room. It looked quite a lot like a small hurricane had burst in through his house, and Letty made a small face at the dust shining on top of a couple surfaces. "I can cook a little bit, too! Ah but ... Mostly just non-meats. I could never stomach smelling meat, I'm afraid." Even just the smell of blood and raw meat made her stomach churn, some instinct telling her to run far away rather than eat it. She didn't know how carnivores could prefer a slab of meat over a bowl of leaves sometimes.

Hayate shook his head when she spoke about imposing on him, it was pretty hard to impose on Hayate, most of his work took place at night and generally he wasn't really phased by having time taken up - especially when he had nothing else better to do. His shop didn't have any strict opening times, and really he could open and close it whenever he wanted to. Her offer to tidy made him laugh softly, however, and a smile found it's way to his face. "I'd rather you just feel better, for now. How are you feeling?" Pressing a hand to her forehead for a moment, the temperature was normal, and he didn't think the wolf had gotten around to doing anything that might do her great damage. "No ribs broken?" Though she probably wouldn't be sitting up if that was the case.

"You can have run of the house, if you want. There's a bathroom next to this room, it's got a shower, but I'm afraid it's too little for a bath." Hayate's house could have been looked at as cosy by someone who was a little more optimistic, but to him, it was more or less like a cupboard, there was barely any space to breathe and more often than not he was rather glad he lived alone.​

"I'm feeling alright, I suppose..." She was feeling a little bit dizzy, and awfully confused about the whole situation. She would really like to know who it was that attacked her — He had mentioned werewolves, and didn't they turn back into people eventually? Maybe it was someone she knew, maybe she wasn't really safe. "I don't think so." Patting down her rib cage, she wriggled for extra measure. Thankfully nothing felt out of place. Now that she had acclimated to her surroundings, Letty was definitely in an exploring mood.

"Um ... You don't think that werewolf will be back, do you?" Scooting to the edge of the bed now, Leticia kept her blanket wrapped tight around her shoulders, making her feel secure and warm. Leticia knew she had to leave sooner or later, but she really didn't want to go back to her dorm just yet. Maybe she could petition for administration to give her a roommate — that would probably be good for her. Another person in the room would make it feel less lonely. Of course, unless they were one of those people that never slept at home and were always out. Hm. "A shower would be nice, I think. Thank you."

Hayate shook his head, though thinking about it that werewolf might have been a student. "Just be careful, don't go in that forest again." He wouldn't even have really taken his chances in there at night, at least not without an abundance of weapons. He should probably leave the girl to get on with what she needed to do, though, she probably didn't want him creeping around when she was trying to have a shower. "The water should be hot, I used it earlier." Pushing himself away from the bed, dog man crossed the room to take off his gloves and tuck them away in a drawer somewhere, "I'll be around if you need me, just shout, I'll hear it." One of his ears twitched, it was useful having the hearing of a dog sometimes.

He shuffled out of the bedroom, pushing open the door to reveal a dusty little living room with a dodgy looking television at one end. Sparky had padded up the stairs again, ears pricked forward in an expectant sort of look toward Hayate, "alright, Sparks, I'll come let you outside." The creature's tail began to wag, and for a moment or two he appeared far more like a normal dog than a monster called up from the pits of Hell. Hayate vanished down the staircase a moment later, the dog in tow.​
