Eivind's answers to his questions were flippant, as usual, but Blue had learned that if he was going to glean anything from the wolf's words he was going to have to take them and break them apart, piece by piece, and hope that something revealed itself in the debris. That Sieger was angry about Alden was no surprise. Eivind had killed a member of another pack, and although it was obvious that werewolves didn't operate by the laws of human society, there certainly must have been rules among the packs that they were required to follow. Eivind seemed to disregard them without a care, and Blue wondered if that was a normal part of Eivind's personality, or if it had been as Sieger had implied, that it was someone<i>his</i>fault that Eivind had behaved so violently.<br/><br/>It was suggested that he should go back to sleep, but Blue found that he wasn't really tired anymore. He opened his mouth to protest when a melodic rapping sounded from downstairs. Eivind groaned and left the bedroom in a huff, and Blue was once again making his way out of the doorway like a nosy child and leaning over the open space above the staircase in order to hear the voices below. This time, however, Blue couldn't hear much. Whoever had arrived had a very soft voice that didn't seem to carry well up the stairs, and after a few moments of straining the boy gave up and crept back into the bedroom, gently closing the door behind him. Whomever it was would most likely leave in a few minutes anyway and Eivind would return to him, and they could continue to sit and choke on their own awkwardness.<br/><br/>Shortly after Blue had returned to the bed, the same rapping noise filled the room, only this time it was closer, right against the bedroom door. "Come in," Blue said warily, wrapping the blanket tighter around his shoulders in anticipation of the wolf who had come to visit. His body loosened considerably, however, when the female wolf, Synnove, came into the room, carrying a basket in her hands.<br/><br/>"Hi," Blue said softly, watching as she crossed the small room and set the basket down next to him before taking a seat herself. "For me?" he asked, disbelieving. He wasn't sure why anyone would want to give him anything, and he dug through the basket carefully, half expecting hidden jaws to snap up at him the deeper he reached. The toothbrush was perhaps the most exciting toiletry item Blue found; he was excited for the opportunity to scrub a month's worth of grim and plaque off of his teeth. The more he sifted through the items, the more ecstatic Blue became. Deodorant, treats, even clothing. Blue lifted up a milk chocolate car, wrapped in silver foil. It was a brand of chocolate he wasn't familiar with, but he didn't care, the idea of having chocolate at all was simply wonderful. He unwrapped the bar immediately, tearing at the foil and taking a large bite. The chocolate was amazingly sweet and smooth, melting in his mouth and sending warm bursts of pleasure surging throughout his body after every bite. He moaned softly at the creamy flavor and looked at Synnove with his gray eyes sparkling. Right now, Synnove looked like nothing less than an angel. "Thank you," he said, hoping his appreciation was apparent in his voice despite his mouth currently being full of chocolatey goodness.<br/><br/>Blue nodded, swallowing down his mouthful before responding to Synnove's question. "Yes, I'm feeling a lot better. Your brother was very helpful. And he brought some medication for me. The more drugs the better, I say," Blue said, chuckling awkwardly as he brought the chocolate up to his mouth again. When Synnove inquired about Eivind, Blue choked and coughed on a small bite that had gotten lodged in his throat, but after a few hacks it melted enough and slid down. "Eivind . . . " Blue began, not sure how much he should tell Synnove. The incident in the shower had been the first true mistake the wolf had made, and despite Blue's annoyance about the situation it didn't seem right to call him out.<br/><br/>"Eivind has been very kind to me," Blue said finally, nodding his head slowly and looking down at the candy in his hand. "He's trying, anyway."<br/><br/>He looked back up at the female wolf, thinking back on Sieger's conversation with Eivind. It seemed that no matter how much Blue prodded at Eivind he was never going to get the full story of why he was here, why the wolf had felt compelled to kill Alden and take him despite his pack's orders. But Synnove . . . Sieger had said that she was against Eivind abandoning Blue. She had to know what all this was about.<br/><br/>"I . . . Thank you again for the basket. It was nice of you. But I don't understand why you're giving me these things. And I still don't know what I'm doing here," Blue began, finding that the words came easier than he had anticipated once he began. "I know your pack wanted to kill me; I know that's why Eivind was sent to find me. But something changed and I still don't understand what that something was. Why did Eivind bring me home with him? And why does Sieger see me as a threat? I'm just a human, and a broken one at that. I can't do anything to anyone even if I wanted to. Please. You were there in the cabin with us, you saw everything, and you know Eivind better than I do. You have to know what's going on. Please tell me?"
