Should she ever have ended up believing in him blindly, then Nanook would have naturally noticed what was going on, but fortunately it hadn't looked like that was going to be an issue just yet anyway. It wouldn't have been comfortable for him at all either, because he would have felt like he lost his bond with her. He wanted to react with her on the level of a rational being and not some sort of a lackie.<br/><br/>Never did he figure that she was weak-willed, though, and he was grateful for the apparent fact that she was not. She was working out of the goodness or her heart. That was what he had hoped to eventually work around. After all, he had already assured her that she hadn't done anything wrong. In fact, previously he approved of what she had done. That kind of a rapport was surely going to change the dynamic between the two of them. Well, at least he had hoped that it would have at the end of the day. These sorts of things had always taken time naturally.<br/><br/>Hoping that was going to plant predatory seeds in the back of her mind, which would grow into thorny blossoms, he looked back toward her again and smiled far more peacefully. "Absolutely you can find some nice things, and I hate letting things go to waste, don't you?"<br/><br/>Eventually he found himself laughing and commenting on the more pleasant aspects of the conversation that they were working around. "Would you like it if everyone had some tail that they could wag?" Nanook thought that would have been funny. Then again, he also figured that would make it harder to disguise who he was. With tails there might very well have come an increase in olfactory senses. That would have made it so that people would have realized there was something up right away.<br/><br/>Marissa would have of course remembered that was how Nanook knew that something had gone awry in the first place. Considering that Marissa seemed to like having her nose rubbed against his, though, he took another opportunity to forget about how serious things were getting and instead rub them together once more. It was a pleasant diversion from what was really going on.<br/><br/>Eventually he was forced to focus on the present, but then again it wasn't too bad. He was getting a hug in that same present it would have seemed. Regardless, he was soon enough listening to the unpleasant reminiscence that she had once more elected to share with him. While he realized that this was difficult for her to do, he was actually quite grateful that she was sharing it all with him for now. "Did I shake things up a little too much for you? At any moment you could have said no and just stuck with that life that you had." Then again, Nanook knew very well that she never would have wanted to do that. She would surely have had wanted to go off with him no matter what.<br/><br/>"If it helps, then you know more about me then anyone else in the world living does." Nanook was therefore admitting that some of his closest friends were gone. "Actually, I had many who lived just as long as I did. Slayers took their lives, and... Well I took the lives of those slayers in turn." He then snarled a bit, sure that at this point she would have had a bad taste in her mouth when it came to people who would professionally kill werewolves as well.<br/><br/>"Yes, there were many in the world like that, but there was a war that happened right underneath the noses of mere mortals." Nevertheless, he wasn't yet sure whether or not to bring up that there were still corps of slayers in the world today.<br/><br/>When that finally did come out, he assumed that it would have been quite a shock for her to deal with, so he wasn't going to say anything just yet. That wouldn't have been an issue really they'd have to grapple with at the moment. There was already so much pain in the regular human world. They could deal with pain in other theoretical realms once they dealt with this pain first. Smirking, he soon started to stroke the back of her head, hoping that she was now his forever.<br/><br/>"You know, we still do need to go out together sometimes, since we even talked about still being nice and romantic in the relationship and all." He looked up toward her with a bit of a smile, hoping that was going to work out as such.
