@MoonlessMortify@WearyScholar@Little_Fighter βThanks, love.β Kane hooked the keys onto a finger, kissed Annie on the cheek, and then headed for Annie's car. βSeems we're back to the good old days, pigeon.β
@MoonlessMortify@WearyScholar@Little_Fighter "You don't have to tell me..." He picked Shy up bridal style and looked back at Annie. "Mind if I borrow your car, I don't feel like dragging her back to the shop. You can grab my truck, the keys are in the office... I'll call the boys and let them know you're coming to get it."
@MoonlessMortify@WearyScholar@Little_Fighter βI'd rather just let her rest..." Shaking his head. "This is not like stubbing your toe. Forcing her to wake up might just add to the shit she's been through already." Which was the last thing he wanted to do.
@MoonlessMortify@WearyScholar@Little_Fighter ~ surprised by the missing rage. Maybe it was because he didn't know who to go after, or it could have just been relief that Shy was okay for the most part. "Has she woke up yet?"
@MoonlessMortify@WearyScholar@Little_Fighter ~ the doorway, looking at a version of this woman that he hadn't seen in years. "This was her back when I first met her... She threatened to shoot me."

@MoonlessMortify@WearyScholar@Little_Fighter "Alright..." The front door jingling as he entered. "If she's bleeding out on the floor, you better just point me in the right direction."
Kane didn't bother to worry if any patrons were in the store, he knew today was Annie's 'off' day. Reserved for restocking the shop and ~
@MoonlessMortify@WearyScholar@Little_Fighter Almost blasting his head on the car frame as he got up. "What do you mean, she's okay now?"
Before he even got the answer, Kane was walking down the street with a shop rag on hand, heading toward Annie's apothecary.
@WearyScholar@MoonlessMortify@Little_Fighter Kane was half under a car when he swiped a greasy finger across the screen, not even bothering to look at the name as he answered the phone. "Hello..."
@GypsySkia βNo need to thank me...β Keeping her in the embrace a little longer. βWe're family, love. Remember...β Kane just hoped that he could get through to the young wolf.
@GypsySkia βOne step at a time, darlin... No matter how small that step is. If it's just a tiny hello, or good morning.β The old wolf just nodded as he brushed the hair out of her eyes. βI'll see if he'll talk and hopefully I can get somewhere... As for shutting you out. I think that's ~
@GypsySkia ~ in time... With some open minds and a shit ton of listening.β He kissed her forehead again and tugged her against his chest in a hug.
βI'll always be here to help you get through anything. Vampires, demons, Black Friday shopping lines, crazy old people in hover rounds... I ~
