"Well better safe than sorry after all." Natalie says and tugs softly on Conner's shirt worry on her face. "In the next few days I'll be out of town. Can you promise that you won't worry too much? And I have another favor to ask. Do not get me angry. It might sound like a cliché, but please." She asked of him not wanting the only person she could and had let them get this close to her to be hurt by that thing inside her. She smiles shyly. "I would like that...to study..."

The wolves waited to see if the human noticed the wolf ears that the kid had.
