The lass stuttered when she spoke, and while Kane still knew what she was trying to get out. And where is home, darling? and then she asked what she owed him and his heart kinda sank. Who had hurt her to the point of cowering at the site of another wolf? To be scared of others like this fae was? It reminded him of his parents and made him mad. Very angry in fact. The brute tried not to show it; tried to keep it concealed as he lapped at her fur. Working the excess water out of it slowly.

When the lad pulled away to look at the fae he spoke softly and calming. You don't owe me anything, I don't need anything that I can't get myself or don't already have. with that he smiled and went back to work on her soaked fur; moving along different parts of it.
