Toho growled quietly as her hand came near him, but let it touch his cheek. He found her touch..soothing. But the growl remained, an innate safety precaution. She had wanted to shoot him last time, didn't she?<br/><br/>No, he told himself. She said she never meant to hurt me. I believe her. It took all of his will to force that lycan body to relax, but it was beginning to respond. He slowly turned into her hand, his muzzle pressed to her palm to sniff at it, then give it a brief lick before his head bowed again.
