Walking along beside him, Kai smiled as he spoke. She didn't need to see what he showed her, while appreciated, to know he was telling the truth. She could hear it in his voice, see it in the way he walked; he seemed to be holding his head higher, his eyes seemed brighter.<br/><br/>"That's good," she said, putting a hand on his neck. "Seems kicking your ass yesterday helped a little." Her tone was teasing; hopefully it would bring his mood up even more. Despite the distress she felt on the pack's end, her own mood had improved tenfold from the previous day. She could actually smile without forcing it.
