Newt does quite prefer her company over many others, but it's still difficult for him to manage in social situations as a whole. He tries, though, and meets her gaze when it is necessary, as he does for many people. Like now, when she insists that he should find shelter with them in the village, and he raises his eyes to hers for longer than a mere second.

"I have shelter here," says Newt. "Well, not here, but I do have it. It's enough to offer what I need and little more." He's quite a simple creature, really. He needs very little to appease him. But then she mentions coming out there with him, and his gaze drops while he clears his throat softly.

"I--I would---If you did I'd have to---well, it isn't big enough for two."
