Firestone Hot Springs Battered but not Broken

Nishu couldn't help but chuckle after she swated at his nose, even when battered and with little strength remaining she still trys to pick a friendly fight with him. Clearly Rain was up for a spar but with their strength at their limits he knew fully well that it would make the situation they are in worse but that didn't really matter right? Both of them should be able to handle it if things got worse. That's what he thought but still didn't recommend it.

He poked her forehead with his paw. "I'm not afraid to spar right now, it's just that I'd prefer fighting when we are at full strength, wouldn't you prefer that too?." He said as he looked into her light blue eyes. He was starting to notice that he liked her. She was a strong fighter with a strong will, which were must haves for Knights. Not just anybody could have those traits. But what really managed to touch his heart was the fact that she tried to help a total stranger from his packmates. She was definitely a special wolf that isn't found everyday. There was no doubt now, He favored her more than any other he had met. He must repay her fully. Helping her find and get to someplace to rest isn't nearly enough.

He let himself get distracted a little too long and almost forgot to answer her question. He looked away, pretending to be watching the forest before answering. "Um, I offered a temperary service as a Knight to one of the members and then was brought to their pack. I didn't know what I was getting myself into. All I wanted was to prove to her that Knights still exist." He didn't want to say he was desperate to serve someone but what he said was still true. He wanted to avoid sounding weak.

The moments rest was nearly over but Nishu still didn't have an idea of where to go or to where he should take her. He thought about asking her but remained quiet on the subject.
