Thunder Cloud

Her charms rained down upon his shield of anger, poking little holes in it. The brute's sour expression twisted as he fought the urge to smile back. It was hard to resist, but no amount of sweet smiles would break through; tonight Thor was firmly set on venting and he would not give up the grump so easily. As much as it pained him, he'd accept her help, but nothing more. The light side would have to work to win him back.

"How kind of you." His words said one thing and his tone said another. His problem wasn't with her gender but with her in general. He didn't want to be helped, smiled at or shown kindness, period. He wanted the world to prove him right; to attack him and berate him. Her presence only served to undermine his current convictions.

Thor stood still while she worked, his ears pressed flat against his skull in a show of displeasure. He tilted his head back, ignoring each triumphant smile. More holes were poked in his shield but he continued to resist. If anything, the more she smiled the deeper his frown got. It wasn't until she crept under his chest and he felt her teeth graze his skin that she got a reaction from him. Surprised, his ears flicked around before one settled down and the other stayed up; their state betraying his bewilderment.

She scooted away and his eyes followed her, their gaze locking as she spoke. Now she had his undivided attention. He was confounded by her willingness to invade his space and her eagerness to trust him. He nodded in answer to her question and set about clearing away the rest as she worked on the restraints around his back legs. By now he was more focused on what she was doing than on how he was feeling. He remained mystified by her actions while they worked, completely puzzled by her kindness and the situation in general.

She paused when all but the tangle around his rump remained and for this he was grateful; there were some forms of help he was dead set against. He stayed silent while he worked, carefully removing the remaining vines until none clung to him any longer. Once they were gone and he could move freely, Thor stretched a bit, tentatively testing himself. He was no longer angry, this he knew for sure, but he wasn't in a particularly good mood either.

Turning to face her head on, Thor studied her, trying to pin down her motives. What could possibly have compelled her to help him? If he'd come across a wolf like himself the last thing he'd have thought to do was help them. "Why would you help me? I could be anyone." He could be anyone; a murderer, even a rapist, and she just set him free.
