/"You knew her?/" I ask brazenly, seeing a sadness as he turns back to me and a fake smile pops up to hide his obvious reaction. His expression clouding over a little and despite my senses not being on form, I can almost taste the change in his mood. He looks at me oddly, eyes narrowing, and it's as though he goes to say something then stops and falters, his mouth opening with no sound before he draws back, looks around once more and leans in a little, lowering his tone. Only too aware of the female across the way.
/"She was my friend. This was her project… long before the war. The hybrid research…. the learning about the rare wolves no one talks about. I never imagined she would end up being one of its inhabitants./" His face reddens and he shakes his head as though he can't quite believe he told me this. Mentally shaking himself, but I'm not going to let an opportunity pass me by, and I have to show he can trust me.
