Warren glanced at her then at the wounds. they were healing nicely and had long since ceased bleeding. He thought about a response for a moment.<br/><br/>"I would have taken them even if you had asked me not to...... That is who I am. I help others...... It is how I gained many of my scars Kai..... I was a medic in World War 2...... And again in Korea......... I was a Spec Ops in Vietnam and during the Cold War..... I have been a soldier for over 60 years, in some shape or fashion..... I only recently got away from that life. For the past six years I have wandered the US and Canada. Mostly staying in the South....... It was chance that I came North......." He moved to sit by her and took her free hand in his own. "I am more glad than you know to have met you....... I have been alone for a long time..... Always running or hiding, never getting to know friends........ But you... You are more than a friend, I cant explain it in words the feelings I have around you, for you....... I only know this.... I will do anything for you. I will not leave you, the thought alone makes my heart ache..... I know little of shifter customs..... but love..... I know love. And Kai..... I love you...." He rubbed her hand with his thumb and smiled as his eyes glowed with his sincerity. "As strange as that sounds ... Its true." He smiled slightly unsure of how she would react.
