Valzar took an involuntary step back, "Take my blood?"

Callista frowned and sighed. "I'm sorry. Would you like me to remove the memory? I shouldn't have said anything to begin with."

"No, please don't do anything with my mind or my memories..." he said quietly. "I'd like to keep it all intact."

Callista nodded. "Of course." She lowered her head to the ground. "I should leave. I haven't hunted yet tonight, anyway."

Callista sat still. "Yes, a little." She stood up, trying to get up the nerve to walk away.

"Because I can't seem to say the right things. I want to help you, I really do, but I shouldn't make you uncomfortable." She sat back down, taking deep breaths to keep the tears at bay. "I forget you're not used to my kind, and I forget to sensor some of the things I say. I'm sorry."

Valzar frowned, "I fear you underestimate my abilities. I know I am male, but I am still strong in my own right."

"I don't underestimate you. I can't. Just as your culture has ideas about gender so does mine. My own culture demands that I listen to you because you are male. And I left myself wide open for a kill. You could have killed me if you would have been an enemy. I know better than this."

Callista stood up once again and took a deep breath, turning to face Valzar. "What's unusual? That I should listen to you? It's what's expected. I don't have to obey, but Daddy insists that I should now to make things easier on my lifemate. Mommy doesn't always listen to Daddy though."

"Synne and Rowena don't listen to anyone else..." Valzar said quietly. "Neither does my mother, except for her mother and her older sister...she heeds what they say."

"My father and my lifemate can force my compliance if I disobey them and my safety is in question." Callista gave a half smile. "It's not that bad really. I'm just hoping my lifemate isn't a hunter who thinks he's going to bark orders at me all the time. I like the freedom I have now. Daddy lets me do my own thing most of the time."

Valzar frowned, "But forcing compliance...it sounds unpleasant."
