[After seeing the video, Fenris doesn't waste time responding, but heads to the place he hopes to find her, the apartment he'd found her at before.

Silence greeted him as he entered, but he wasn't surprised at that. Besides, the smell of blood was enough to let him know he was in the right place.]

...Laura?

It is?

[He nods.] Yes. I...didn't want them at first. I was too worried I could hurt them, or that those who hunt me would. But I've learned they are quite capable of taking care of themselves.

[painhelps]

[She blinks.] My reason is the same. The Facility is hunting me; they will kill those I care for to take me back.

[doesnotbrood]

The slave hunters will do no less. Still, there is a time when you must turn and face the tiger, Laura. If your friends would stand with you, let them.

[painhelps]

Then they would die.

[doesnotbrood]

That's very arrogant of you.

[painhelps]

It is the truth. [She pauses and looks up at him.] At least of those I care for back home. Megan is human. She cannot fight.

[doesnotbrood]

And what of those who care for you here?

action;

[painhelps]

I am not certain. [She stared at him.] You can.

action;

[doesnotbrood]

I know more than a few here who could, Laura.

[painhelps]

[A brief flash of hopefulness crosses her face.] I am begging to believe that is true.

action;

[doesnotbrood]

There's no need for begging, Laura. Belief is hard, but it can be found.
