Broken

His willingness to teach brought on a smile and a wag of her tail. He was probably doomed to live forever without the love of a woman. To never know what its like to be with another in any privately intimate way and to never have any children of his own. But at this moment he was willing to accept that all if it meant he could teach, care for and love this girl as if she were his own daughter.

He had left his homeland, hell his entire family, in hopes of finding a woman he'd love...a woman who would love him back. For a time, Max thought he had found her. That was untill his feelings weren't returned but were met with fear mistaken for hate. Hell the woman still couldnt look at him without that look a fear hidden in her gaze. A look that was burned into the mans memory.

Delaney would however obsorb his next words as if she were a sponge deprived of water. Though his words didn't seem to hurt her or reopen any wounds, they did leave her looking tired and ready for the day to end. At her words a small smile would be given along with an acknowledging nod. [color= blue]"Alright then...for now ill settle with getting you home. Theres a den not to far from here I slept in last night and some water you can get cleaned up in. In the morning we can make our way back north talk about surrounding packs and ill even get started on those lessons of yours if you're ready to start."[/color]
