"True, but she is just a child with no sire to ease her into her new life. How much were you expecting, old friend?" He looked directly at Katherine when she defended herself from Salazar's words. His face was compassionate, patient, and understanding as she vented her frustrations.<br/><br/>"Salazar and I were both human; a long,<em>long</em>time ago. We both accepted this existence for different reasons, but we had guidance in our fledgling days; guidance your maker has denied you. I understand this is hard to wrap your mind around, since your sire has abandoned you. But you've been feeding on people; you've experienced firsthand what our kind can do. Any doubt you had should be gone at this point." She continued on and he chuckled. "You are only a monster if you allow yourself to be. What you are, what we<em>all</em>are...are creatures of the night. The definition of savage beauty. And yes there are werewolves; yes you're hungry. Return to the Coven with us and you'll get all the food you can handle as well as protection from the lycans."<br/><br/>His focus turned back to Diego and he raised an eyebrow as he explained that it seemed to be the girl the White Wolf had been after; Diego merely was with her when the attack happened. "That is concerning, my friend. A childer with less than two months under her belt has drawn the attention of the White Wolf? Perhaps it has something to do with her maker? It would explain his convenient absence and the sudden appearance of wolves." Nodding and understanding how worn out Diego must be, he nodded and put a hand on his shoulder.<br/><br/>"Relax, brother. We'll be back soon." It may have seemed like all of his attention was on Salazar, but he was a master tactician and had kept his eye on Katherine the entire time. He saw her slowly backing away toward the fire escape. He shook his head as she jumped down and tried to leave them, then he gave Diego a look that seemed to say<em>'kids, am I right?'</em>While everyone should be able to choose for themselves, he was not about to let her get herself killed. He took off after her, catching up before she really got too far.<br/><br/>He ran down the building side while she used the fire escape, and then suddenly he was in front of her, his arms outstretched to catch her when she ran into him. "Listen to me," he said with just as much force as concern. "I understand you aren't in the best of moods at the moment, but if you try to go back to your apartment; try to leave it all behind and act like none of this ever happened...I may as well kill you now, because the wolves certainly will when the chance arises again. You think that they'll give up after one attempt? No. In fact, you being by yourself will only embolden them." With his hands around her shoulders he seemed to look into her soul. "Deigo, as...gruff as he is, saved you from yourself. And now we've saved you from the lycans. Don't throw your life away because you're confused. Live so we can help you understand."<br/>
