<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family:Open Sans">“Sig probably isn't a wolf that knots at all,” Eivind offered, thinking that would most likely explain how he so easily slept around with humans. “Not all wolves do. Or at least not enough to always be noticeable.” Some of the more naturally submissive males would have no need to do so, and it likely had something to do with the testosterone in their bodies. Eivind, as hairy as he was, probably had an ample amount coursing through his blood. It was the only connection he'd over considered.<br/>
<br/>
Eivind smiled when Blue chastised him playfully.<br/>
<br/>
“I only know what happened when we were fucking,” he pointed out, not needing a diagnoses when they had examples. The woman came in to break up their picking at one another, though Eivind wasn't relieved because she brought with her questions as to why they did things the way that they did. Eivind watched in anticipation as she poked and prodded, expecting Blue to cry out in the way he had when Alaric had done so. He didn't, proving that he had mended at least a little more than he had been before. She made a comment about the mark on Blue's shoulder, and his mate only partial lied. He had been attacked by an animal. If she didn't believe him, she didn't say. There was only so much that could have happened given the state of the wounds. Luckily, humans were even less inclined to believe a story about rabid werewolves. She continued to pry regardless, and then was scolding Eivind for taking Blue out with cracked ribs.<br/>
<br/>
“You're right. I shouldn't have,” Eivind admitted, agreeing with her reproach. She was watching Eivind's expression when she asked about what else they'd gotten up to. It was easy to guess by the older man's guilty expression. She made another sound of disapproval, but nothing to be done for it now. At least the man acknowledged his wrongdoing.<br/>
<br/>
“Yes, ma'am,” Eivind promised. No more hiking for at least two weeks. He could live with that. He assumed that sex was off the table for those two weeks as well, but he could see Blue trying to figure out how to tactfully bring it up. She saved him the trouble. The doctor hadn't even batted an eye. No telling what she saw or dealt with regularly to take everything in stride. Blue was crimson and Eivind was trying not to smirk, lest he draw the woman's attention. It didn't save him, and she pointed to Eivind, staring at him and making it understood not to let Blue exert himself even if they did have sex. Simple, easy things would be okay apparently.<br/>
<br/>
“Uhh, no. I think you've addressed all of our concerns.” With that, she demonstrated the breathing exercises with Blue, and then sent them on their way. Eivind was happy to get out of there, worried about receiving another scolding for mishandling Blue in some other way. He was deserving of it, he was sure, and there was plenty more the doctor didn't know about. How he'd manhandled him in the kitchen of the cabin, and then again in the woods. He was sure Blue was going to be a little smug with permission that they could still engage in intercourse, and Eivind would allow him that because he was relieved himself. It was the best case scenario for Blue, and it meant that it wasn't going to be as costly as Eivind imagined it might be given that he was already halfway healed. At least now his health had been addressed, so Blue's parents couldn't say it wasn't important to him. They stopped to pick up the prescription and Eivind made sure he did his breathing exercises on the way back to the hotel.<br/>
<br/>
They ate at the little cafe attached to the lobby of the hotel. After, Eivind took him back upstairs to fuck him slowly since there seemed no reason to refrain if he was gentle, and Blue relaxed. They were in bed when they heard a knock at the door, luckily long finished and no longer attached. Eivind picked up a pair of pants that were laying in the floor, and let Blue have a moment to put something on. It was Sig, of course. Eivind let him in.<br/>
<br/>
“Well, there's no denying what you two have been up to,” Sig commented as he plopped down on the bed regardless, beside Blue. He was wearing different clothing than when he'd left, so Eivind assumed the same could be said for him.<br/>
<br/>
“I take it you're feeling better?” Sig said cheerfully.</span></span>
