“Never, really. I mean, not since I was little. Hecate used to do it for me when I was too small to do them myself.” he revealed, sounding oblivious to the fact that it was generally preferable to have someone help even as an adult, and especially as an act of intimacy and trust with certain loved ones.

It made her heart ache more than she wanted to let on when she heard that. Lyri couldn’t imagine going so long without that kind of care and touch in her life and it bothered her that he had. “I could do it for you,” she offered, not wanting be too pushy on the subject.

He laughed. “I’m old. It was hardly the first time something had bit me and you were frightened. I wasn’t upset about it.” It had hurt, of course, but it wasn’t threatening. He shook his head. “Family isn’t really my thing. It’s best that I stay away.”

“Will cry,” she threatened, giving him her best and most pathetic looking puppy eyes. She thought if she begged enough he would finally cave because everyone else usually did.

Isaac’s posture relaxed again, satisfied that the subject was changed enough for now. Anya knew him more than well enough to know that he’d never turn down food, especially if it was a family meal, and him being there might help Parker find a little more of his appetite at least.

When he didn’t argue, Anya took his hand and tugged him towards home. At least this was something they could agree on and she had everything needed to make a good stew. Hopefully that would be easier for Parker to manage with the more broth style base.

“You know I love you, right?”

“Maybe if you try handling things without a gun, you wouldn’t have to worry about that last part.” He shrugged. “If it helps at all, I think he was trying to do us both a favor.” Having Willow around was definitely going to push Robin over the edge, he didn’t doubt that.

“Maybe if the waiter hadn’t have made remarks about it “not being safe for a pretty little thing to be out on her own” I wouldn’t have leveled a gun to his fucking balls.” He had been lucky she hadn’t pulled the trigger. “Yeah, well, he can go back to hell because it was better before he was suddenly not fucking dead anymore.”

“No one else messes with August,” he said, fists clenching at his side. “At this point, I don’t give a shit what you are. You could be a cannibal for all I care and as long as you’re not going to fuck with August and the kids, it doesn’t matter. I need them somewhere safe and you can do that, can’t you? I’m guessing it wouldn’t even be the first time.”

“Reyes was right about him being a weak spot, even if you don’t see it.” It was a good test, really, but that wasn’t why she had hit the leopard. “I’ve kept Pryce Mahlendorf alive and hidden since he was sixteen, so, yeah, I can keep them safe. At least from your family. I can’t make a promise on Reyes if this goes to shit. He’s got better resources than I do. Anyone finds out what I am though and it’s your ass on the line, Chase.”

August had moved closer to Chase, the side of his jaw already beginning to bruise. It would be gone within the next two days, but he knew she hadn’t hit him with full force. “What the hell is going on, Chase?”

“If you didn’t care, you probably wouldn’t want company at all,” he countered. Not to mention the fact that she’d leave Kit the hell alone.

“Eating alone is sad and pathetic and it makes the wait staff look at you with pity. It’s sort of frowned upon to shoot people at Denny’s.” She was banned from IHOP for that very reason. “Besides, I’m not allowed to hang around and no fucking coward is going to dictate how I run my damn life.”

Don’t touch him.” The words were icy, but he managed not to reach for his gun, an instinct he was trying to suppress with kids in the house. It wasn’t easy, but he was getting better at it at least.

“I been posing for one of your lot way too long for some cat to be blowin’ my damn cover,” she countered, crossing her arms and turning to Chase just slightly. “And you damn testy for someone claimin’ he ain’t in love.”

August didn’t say anything, but he did move to put Chase between himself and the wolf. He was used to Chase’s tone running hot with anger, never cold, and it sort of scared him a little.
