</div></div><span style="font-family: 'Didact Gothic', 'sans-serif'">"I know I'm cute," The female corrected in a soft, almost nonchalant tone in an effort to wind up her sire further; it was abundantly clear that he was frustrated with her, not only from his tone but from the way that his muscles tensed beneath her touch as if the brief touch of her was enough to invoke an innate physical response. Natalia didn't respond to the way his hands curled around her thighs or the way he bounced her up slightly to shift her weight to a comfortable position. The brunette simply gazed over his shoulder and observed as they moved through the forest, as much as she wanted to deny it, Natalia rather enjoyed being carried; she could preserve what energy she had left.<br/>
<br/>
An audible snort echoed from the woman as she reviewed his words, "Of course, mom." The she-wolf knew it wouldn't be anything he made a habit of doing, she was surprised he'd helped her to begin with. It didn't seem like his MO. Once they were inside the car a sense of relief filled Natalia, and of course, she lunged for the clothing as soon as possible, she hated to be naked in the open... it wasn't natural for her. Upon his retort, the female's lips curved into a devious smirk. "Oh that did get under your skin, didn't it?" Natalia didn't do much without purpose, even if the motivation was somewhat lost on most. Slowly working on making someone's skin crawl or irritation explode into anger was one of her more favoured hobbies. <br/>
<br/>
"If you hadn't noticed I'd worry that you'd been hit violently in the head, here," The brunette cast the pants into his lap before crossing one leg over the other as they set off. She couldn't deny that the twist of his toned form attracted her gaze lower, his body was incredibly well toned, more so than she'd expect. She'd thought that maybe he would've been oversized and bulky, but he was almost the perfect specimen, power and precision. Most humans seemed to enjoy the oversized body look which was not efficient, nor attractive. Natalia soon darted her gaze to the road in an effort to ignore her current thoughts.<br/>
<br/>
Natalia's gaze was drawn from the dark road to flicker toward her sire, his words almost made her pause, which was almost as good as making her speechless. It wasn't for the standard reason most had, it was for the reflection of her state of mind that still lingered. "I didn't expect that, no. I was hoping you would have the balls to try and finish me off." Despite the smirk taunting her lips, the female passed up the chance to jest. For once, she was simply honest, no twist of her words, no taunting. "Of course I knew I wouldn't make it out alive. I knew I was running out of time, I still am. My time on this earth is limited, and you were the last thing I needed to check off my list. Then once I had managed, I knew I would die right after if not during. I'm positive that when we fight, again, if I manage to kill you, your pack will finish me if they don't intervene during the fight." <br/>
<br/>
The female's gaze didn't linger on her sire, they flicked back to the road as she spoke in a solemn tone. "I meant it when I said that this is delaying my death. Someone will find me, they won't stop looking. Either your pack, you, or one of my kin will put me into the ground." It was almost as if she was reciting a script, it was what it was, even if she truly didn't wish to die; her whole body wanted to fight against it, but she knew the code and she knew that it was the duty of her people. <br/>
<br/>
As much as she wished to question her sire saving her life, for the time being, Natalia refrained. "So, do I need to sleep with a gun under my pillow? Or will I be banished to the garden and a leash?" The brunette snickered slightly. It almost hid her concern with staying in a place that held a pack that would be rather unamused to see her. Even if she explained her situation Natalia had a feeling that nobody would believe her or care, it had been the same way with hunters, it seemed the natural order.</span>
