"Good, I think you'd both benefit from each other," she said with a light smile. The gentleness Malleus used with the baby animal was oddly endearing, and kind of funny. Such a large, strong wolf beside something so tiny and ultimately helpless - what a sight.

His words were not at all surprising, it had been a long shot but at the very least he now knew what she wanted so there would be no mystery as to the starry woman's desires if she kept this up. Hm. If. No, that didn't feel right. She was loathe to admit it aloud, but Iskra could almost certainly guarantee she would keep this up. "I know," she said, words spoken softly, "You'd be a fool to say yes to me asking so much. But, I needed for you to know the extent of what I'm thinking.
