His gaze had already been trained on the woman in front of him, so he didn't miss the fleeting looks of surprise or the relief that momentarily softened her features at his agreement. He quickly shook his head at her next words. Of course not, he answered. He hadn't even been expecting that but was glad to make it clear if it would make her feel better.

Her crying slayed him. Even if she wasn't most definitely pregnant with his children, there was still no way he could just sit there and watch her cry. It was worse that she was crying because of him. Kavik slowly lowered himself back to the ground, careful not to touch her any more than he could help for fear that it might make her angry. He hesitated for a brief second before reaching over and softly licking her cheek if allowed. You're not alone in this, he said gently. We'll figure it out.
