Losing Kitty must have taken a great toll on him. She reached out and laid a hand on his arm, her own frustrations temporarily forgotten. [color=palevioletred]"For what it's worth, Shade. I'm sorry. We, werewolves, can get carried away with the rage that comes with the transformation. It's not a secret that we hate vampires... you have no idea how I thought the same way before I met Alex... and I killed my fair share of your kind. But... there's really no excuse for what happened to Kitty. And if only I could have done something, I would have. I'm sorry,"[/color] she kept her hand on the vampire's arm for a few more minutes before dropping it and laying it across her lap.

He looked into her eyes. [color=lightgreen]"What we have will never fade away. I will be loyal to no one but you,"[/color] he said before turning his attention back to their original topic. [color=lightgreen]"Well, Claudia will need to decide if she wants to join us. I'm sure Caius wants her to. But we can't do anything about it if she decides to stay a lone wolf. She has, after all, imprinted on a vampire. And a dangerous one at that."[/color]
