Natali leaned into him. He was like the big brother she never had. She felt safe and trusted in his hold. She looks up at her. Sniffling a bit but isn't crying anymore. She searched his face to make sure he wasn't just saying that. She wanted to believe him. Listening to him and slowly nodded her head. "So I am useful..." she says softly. Her eyes sparkling with a bit of happiness. "I am useful for once." She added. A little smile on her lips as she looked at him. She giggles at the term hoodlums. Nodding her head. "Punishment chamber?" She echoes. Looking worried and bites his lower lip. She blushes a bit. She loved her friend but not in the same way he loved her. She wasn't sure she deserved to have a love. She was so weak physically that it was hard to believe anyone would want her. Her tips of her tails twitching as she looks at him. "I will show them I am not the same as a human. I will make Brandon a better man whether he wants to be or not." She says decisively. Nodding her head in understanding. "Okay Cliff. Thank you." She wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "You are like the big brother I never had." she says with a soft giggle. Looking up at him in surprise. "I'm in charge like the king is." Her eyes wide in shock. "I hope Anthony comes back soon." She says softly.
