<div style="text-align: justify;">Marissa would have been happy to just spend time with Nanook and have breakfast as well. One, because she was really quiet in general, and liked silence. And two, because she was really comfortable with Nanook, more than she could have expected to be with someone she had known for such a short time. Yet, she needed to talk, since she had questions to ask, and now was as good a time as any. So, she started with saying what she knew, and then moved on asking whether or not she was close to reality.<br/><br/>When Nanook said she was close to the way werewolves were, Marissa smiled. It was good to know that she was getting off to a good start. It would make her life easier, after all. <br/><br/>“I like the sound of honor-bound”, she stated after he finished speaking. “Sounds like the kind of thing I can get behind”, Marissa completed, sincerely. Honor was definitely something she could understand and appreciate.<br/><br/>When she listened to Nanook’s comment on mating for life, and on being stuck with the mate he chose forever, Marissa felt her cheeks warm a little. She nibbled on her lower lip for a few seconds, a pensive expression in her blue eyes. Her mind was working in what he had said earlier about them talking on the phone like a normal couple.<br/><br/>Taking another sip of her coffee, Marissa once again licked her lips clean before asking one more question. “And are you sure about me?”, she asked, very quietly. “I... I mean... because you said that about... us being a couple”, she explained, her voice even quieter.</div>
