toasty, like my spot in hell

The woman reacted simply to his question and, since she wasn't a wolf of his, he wouldn't pry. He would only ask, "Does Azure know?" If the bear-pawed brute was anything like Chimera, he should be hunting down the perpetrators to extract payment from their hides. When Dalila had been wronged, the King of Fenmyre had taken the life of the one that had done it. Those that had done this to Hanako deserved no less.

As the Koi fae asked of Fenmyre, Chimera's dual-toned gaze narrowed slightly and he replied in kind, "I messed up." With his response, he was showing her just how weak her own reply to his question had been, though he was pretty sure that she was aware of that. Once his point was made, the giant man sighed and shook his great head lightly. "Gone. It's all gone." The illness that had laid him low during The Long Night had returned to wreak havoc on him again. Rather than risk the possibility of illness and leaving his home vulnerable, Chimera had chosen to give it all up so that a safe home could be guaranteed for his family.

"It's probably not safe for you to be out here alone." The things that had happened to Dalila and some of the Hallows wolves were horrid and, if a wolf came along that wanted to take advantage of her, Chi doubted that Hanako could put up much of a fight in her current state. He didn't think that she was one of the idiot females who thought her life was over just because she was a little less pretty, but he didn't know her all that well.
