One night, while watching out for danger, D will find someone else approaching and sitting down next to him. Nara'a sighs, and turns to the other with a bit of a smile. It's... not an easy conversation to start, but he has to.

"... You're hard to find when you don't want to be found." He'd thought to check the outpost, but missed the dhampir every time. Tonight he simply got lucky. "... I don't hate you, before you even start to think that I do."

Was he angry at first? Of course. But between Gaia's explanation and the realization that everyone had been more aggressive and ready to start trouble last month... he's a lot less mad than he was at first. "You were trying to protect her, right?"
