“Don’t.” The warning was snapped, low and sharp at the apology and show of sympathy. “It was just a thing that happened,” he continued flatly, inflection stripped out of his voice. It taught him a very clear lesson, which was all he was willing to take from the memory. “And I lived.” The dismissive remark was still forced, but he could always blame the distraction of dealing with an unfamiliar shower and trying to scrub the woods off of his skin. Standing under the water that he’d made hotter than necessary could turn the pale of his skin the slightest pink, but it was worth it considering breakfast had been slightly derailed and traces of that day with the demon wanted to lurk around.
If he wasn’t committed to wallowing, it meant getting the shampoo out of his hair, which he did as quickly as he could manage. He turned the water off, pushed his hair back with the added benefit of wringing water from it, and stepped out to retrieve a towel. He had looked once at Brennan, but went back to ignoring the wolf’s physical presence. Unlike the wolves who seemed to have no qualms about nudity, most humans weren’t that way, especially if they were standing around with the supposed enemy, which accounted for half of the reason he wouldn’t acknowledge Brennan while he dried himself. “What happened to that other pack? Did they just…?” He imagined they’d taken up the space previously occupied by Brennan’s pack, but the fighting between werewolves never occurred to him as useful information until now.
