Blacktail Deer Plateau All of My Love

Hawkeye paid no attention to the fact that he towered over her, for she was too busy blushing and looking away (not that she would have cared anyway).

And more blushing came when he mentioned, along with protecting the pack, that it was his duty to protect her. "No, Fury, it is my duty to protect you. I can do fine for myself. There is no need to worry about me." She meant her words, though she appreciated that he had a desire to protect her; but, it was no one's job to do so. Hawkeye was not a weak wolf in any way and could do fine on her own.
