Alexei followed after the footprints and the scent of the human as best as he could his lupine eyes being a whole lot better than a humans saw how she turned in the wrong direction and then fell crouching and picking her up allowing her to be enveloped by his heat as he wrapped the back of the coat up around her to protect her against the cold, Kouga having suggested he go since he wasn't in the town for quite some years so people shouldn't really know him placing her cold face against his chest under his neck. "Wait a moment. We'll get you to safety." He said softly still not overly used to speaking as he climbed back up the hill to the hidden house climbing the snow covered hills as if it were nothing. Natalie just happened to look out the window to see it was snowing and she worried about anyone who might be caught up in this horrible storm when she recalled she was asked a question. "Well...I have to go buy flowers. And visit my parents. I haven't been to their graves ever even when they died still healing from the wound I got." She said saying once more only part of the truth. She would do that, the day before the night of the first full moon, but wouldn't be seen beyond that as she tended to look as if she were sicker than a dog, pardon the pun. She didn't really appreciate dog puns that much now, but could still find a bit of humor in it. She knew that to tell him that her parents were killed by wolves would be scoffed at since for hundreds of years they haven't been seen, and her parents death had been seen as just a freak accident and buried much like they have been. "And I'll just be outside of town, going to see some friends of mine." She would call her friends and ask them to back her up on that story and they would with a bit of curiosity, but they would which made her love them even more for it.
