This fragile bird

He'd slain warriors in war, been the reason that children were orphaned, as he slain their mothers and fathers- all in the name of job. Each kill had chipped away little pieces of him, but nothing had struck him quite like the open vulnerability in Emer's body and eyes. He was a solider, once he thought that he was immune to the horrors that life could bring, but this struck him to his very core. He had never been this personal with a victim of anything- always compartmentalizing this. The victim had never been family, and that was what Valhalla was becoming as a whole, the longer he spent here... family. He had broken the silence earlier, his words sliding through the growing silence. He wasn't a wolf of many words, never knowing what to say, and always saying the wrong thing- it seemed.
She finally spoke, and the growing tension melted in his body. He blinked slowly, his eyes never leaving her. His desire to protect her was new and over-whelming to him, but she needed him too. He'd never felt the need to protect another like this. Vriel and Vaziel, though his siblings could take care of themselves, though he'd always have their backs should they need it. He knew better than to hover- but the fragile state of Emer... it left him feeling the need to shadow her, protect her from whatever demons would plague her. Perhaps he felt a brotherly protection over her, unlike any he had ever felt before?
Her words, brought a light chuckle to his jaws, though he still the noise quickly. His eyes were incredibly soft, as he looked at her and spoke, "Emer, you are a part of this pack- and I would be honored to do anything for you. If I can help you, I'm serving Valhalla and also helping a friend." He paused for a moment, letting his words hang in the air. A friend? Was he starting to view the woman as a friend, as his words made it seem. From his words, he meant to imply that, yes, the pack needed him but she was part of Valhalla- ergo, she was someone that he could choose to help too, and from her fragile state- she needed it. He only wondered how long she had carried this baggage? How long had she went through this alone? She wasn't overly pregnant, so the trauma and rape had to be recent. Stifling the solider and mercenary, he quieted his inner solider. He wouldn't hunt this monster unless that was what Emer needed from him. No, he'd remain by her side, whether or not she liked it.
