Well that meant that sometime he was going to have to do that for her. He would have had to show her what it was like for him to wag his tail like that. Considering the fact that he was a canine, well at least when he was transformed, Nanook very well could have illustrated and experienced all aspects that there were to being a canine. That meant that when he was happy as a wolf Nanook might very well have elected to wag his tail in order to show it.<br/><br/>Looking around carefully, he eventually stretched and focused instead on what she was saying next. Apparently she was starting to understand why he had elected to call her strong. Should she have shown no objection to it then Nanook would have started to stroke her head as though he were petting it. Smiling softly, he offered a gentle kiss to her lips. To him, all of this was an ultimate act of compassion for sure.<br/><br/>While he might have brought a sense of security to her, honestly Nanook received a sense of stability from Marissa in turn. For so long he had been alone in the world. Slayers had taken out plenty of those he called family and friends. It simply felt like everything was right again now that he had one of his own kind of person - a supernatural wolf - close to him all over again.<br/><br/>That didn't really mean that he was going to rush things, however. Just like her, he had still wanted to take things fairly slowly. "Honestly, you know if you wanted, then you could leave that job once we get settled, but I'd suggest the vacation for now." Nanook knew that in the future she wouldn't be at want for money. There were so many human criminals in the world. There would be more than enough for them to take care of.<br/><br/>When they took care of one, of course, they surely would have found more than enough to sustain themselves as well as to help the victims of crime. Criminals were often taking great amounts of money for themselves. That meant that Nanook and Marissa could have maintained a level of comfort while still providing plenty to those who were hurt by crimes.<br/><br/>"Let's say we do plan a vacation, where would you like to go? Up north a bit to the woods?" That really sounded like a good idea to him. Nanook liked the idea of communing with nature with her. At this point he figured that would have really helped with her wolf instincts as well. She would have probably felt something pretty big awaken within her if she had known just the right way to listen for it.<br/><br/>Eventually it had looked like he was supposed to be speaking more. She had fallen relatively silent at the moment. "Was there something else that we should talk about? Like how much I'm starting to love you?" Nanook leaned over, again offering her a kiss before he stretched, hoping that she felt more comfortable now.<br/><br/>All those stories had to be very difficult. He of course saw in her eyes that telling him wasn't really easy. Nanook never even expected that it would be. However, he appreciated her even more for having the incredible courage that it had taken in order to share this all with him. Even though he was the one supposedly teaching her, Nanook was indeed still grateful.
