Nothing would have made him happier than ensuring that she wasn't going to go back to her old life. Nanook was genuinely in love with her. That meant that he was sympathetic to her pain, and didn't want her to have to experience any. It was a natural reaction considering that his caring was real.<br/><br/>"Is this a bad time to ask a question about her? I wanted to know how she ever got stuck inside of your body, but you don't have to say anything if you don't want to, okay?"<br/><br/>Should she have denied him any more information, and then he would have just kept quiet. He had no wish to continue pushing her by any means, and he didn't at all want to make her feel uncomfortable. Disquieted thoughts were a great way to send back all of the progress they had made. Therefore, he didn't want to introduce any of them into the mix.<br/><br/>Since his long black hair was nice and straight, it would have felt very pleasant to the touch. He even acted like he was trying to get her to scratch his ears, which might have fit well with the comment she made about him knowing how to be good and tame in order to get those scratches as well as treats.<br/><br/>"I guess it depends on the type of treats you're giving me, you know?" Nanook couldn't keep a straight face after saying that line and he was soon bursting out in his own laughter. It felt good to just chat casually like this. Sighing again, he leaned up against her. That was when he had started to realize that something might have been amiss.<br/><br/>"Do you think we should finish breakfast first?"<br/><br/>If nothing else, then he knew that she had been cooking. Most certainly he hadn't wanted her to at all burn anything. Releasing her for the time being made him realize that much more he had needed her, and that felt great.<br/><br/>That was when he thought about something else quietly to himself. He had to restrain his wolf-like instincts. She was not actually his until they had become mates wholly. He had to respect her individual sovereignty until then. Indeed, he had to be very much a tame puppy for her as she had suggested.<br/><br/>Mentioning breakfast did something else for him, and possibly for her as well. Nanook was honestly hungry at this point. To keep the previously bravado going for the time being, he had decided to act like he was wagging a non-existent tail back and forth.
