Our food arrives just as Kimiko looks away from me. I smile and thank the waitress before I look back at Kimiko. I'm silent for a while. Partly to show her that silence isn't so bad, and isn't it nice not to talk all the time? And partly because I'm trying to figure out how to say this properly. 

[color=#B0C4DE]”Why do you actually want to get to know me? Is it just because I'm Caden's friend? Is it because you've never known a werewolf before so you want to know what it's like? Do you want to see how fast I lose control or if shifting actually causes me pain? Or if I can smell blood from miles away or fuck all night long?”[/color] I didn't mean to ask all these questions. I know I'm projecting my past onto Kimiko now, but I couldn't hold back. All my life I've been questioned. I was tired of being questioned.

 [color=#006400][I]”Shh, Es ist alles in Ordnung, meine Liebe.[/I] We can talk to Cass when you're ready.”[/color] I continued to rub Nero's back, murmuring soothing words in German and Gaelic in an effort to get them to stop shaking and come back to me. 

I hated this. I hated feeling helpless. I hated knowing I was making this worse for them. That I had unlocked something they wanted to uncover.

I laugh and shake my head. [color=#DB7093]”Okay, I think we're ready to go then. Let's go get back a precious Hindu gem,”[/color] I said.
