Marissa being so quiet was sort of funny to Nanook. This had nothing at all to do with the fact that wolves were social animals. While that was true, what he was thinking about was purely human. He had found it ironic that she was so quiet when she had actually worked at a nightclub. He couldn't think of any place that was more social than that. For that matter, he was hard-pressed to think of anywhere that was quite as loud as that too.<br/><br/>Fortunately, when she did speak, she always seemed to say things that were grounded in reality. Perhaps she had known far more about being a werewolf than she ever could have imagined that she knew. This would indeed make her life a lot easier. It would have also made Nanook's life a lot easier.<br/><br/>He wasn't going to have to go through and repeat things that she had already known. That meant he could have spent less time yapping. "Well, I'm certainly glad that you can get behind the whole idea of being honor-bound! I assume that you're the type that would care zealously for a family as well?" She had been completely right when she mentioned that about wolves. It was something that even those with no background in biology often knew.<br/><br/>Eventually even his cheeks were warming a bit. She had, after all, said something that would have made him blush. Looking up a bit, he thought about what he was going to say in reply. He didn't want to say the wrong thing, or worse a half-truth at all.<br/><br/>"We are not mated yet, and I've never actually been physical with anyone because I wanted to make sure that I was with the right person seeing as I could never break the relationship; does this make sense? I'd certainly want to give it more thought and more of a chance before we finalize our relationship if you would."<br/><br/>Nanook sighed a bit, not at all sure how she was going to take him having said that at all, but he hoped that she wouldn't have been insulted.
