 Ray looked at Katriel he'd rather give her a more authoritative name, he had nodded his head when she spoke of the mess inside the camper van. He didn't believe it could be that messy, Maybe I could could clean it for her? he thought as he entered the van. He liked the looks of the van, it was nice and the homemade quilts looked comfy. He had eyed the food hungrily as she had ducked into the bathroom. When she had started to smooth the oil onto his face. The coolness of the oil made him sigh with relief, even more so when it was his jaw, neck and shoulders got the same treatment. He was melting into her touch, the massage had him in total bliss. At the mention of a shower he perked back up and grinned as best as he could. A thought came to him as he accepted the food. "Thank you Miss Katriel" he waited for her to start eating

Katriel smiled at Ray. "They really got to you in that place, didn't they? I'm not a 'Miss.' If anything I'm a widow. I lost my pack in a freak logging accident. My mate. My family. My best friends. All of them." She sighed sadly and wolfed down a burger. She took a second for herself and passed Ray another. "That's why I'm not looking to settle down anywhere yet. So I hope you don't mind the life of a wanderer for a while. I have a lot of dirt to knock off my boots before a can claim any territory. We might also have to pick up odd jobs along the way to keep gas in the tank. You ok with that?"

"I'm sorry to hear that" he said, he couldn't believe that Katriel had lost everyone she ever knew. He bit into his burger slowly even though all he wanted to do was wolf it down. He'd heard that others have been sick from doing exactly that so he was going to be careful. He thought about what she said, he could do some work so long as she approved of it. "I'll do whatever job you tell me to" he said once he had swalloed his bite.

Katriel reached across the small table and ruffled his hair. "You're cute," she declared. She focused on the now and tried not to let the ghosts of old griefs intrude on this intimate meal. She started on her third burger, her appetite finally slowing down, and munched onion rings in between bites "As you can see, there's not a lot of room in the camper, so we'll have to share the bed for a while. It's pretty big, so it shouldn't be a problem. Just remember rule number 1."

"Don't get fresh" Ray said before polishing of his first burger, he soon shoved some chips into his mouth. He didn't intend to do anything to Katriel until she had told him otherwise. He turned to her and smiled "And you'e beautiful" he whispered more to himself than to her "May I have another burger?" he asked her sweetly, he didn't know how many he was allowed to have.

"Aww, thanks," Katriel blushed. No one had really complimented her lately. "Have as much as you want to eat--one of the perks of being part wolf is that we can eat 20% of our body weight in one sitting without getting sick." She passed him another burger. "And I want to put some meat on your bones--you'll need the extra calories for the full moon in a few nights."

Ray nodded and took the burger offered to him, She's too good for me! he reminded himself as he ate a bit faster than previously. He took some more chips as well, he knew she was right about the lack of meat on his bones thing. He was underweight and covered in bruises, whip marks and cigertte burns. Now that he thought about it he should probably tell her about the owner and manager. "The owner of the store is known for killing off anyone who stays in the store for too long" he started to explain to her "the manager never asks when someone goes missing from the store, he'll think I'm dead" he finished speaking. He went on to finish his second burger and picked up a third.

"Well, that's something of a relief," Katriel replied. "At least they won't send the hounds after us. When you're done eating, you can take a quick shower in my bathroom. I'll go hook up the water and sewage lines so you can take as long as you like. Feel free to use as much soap and shampoo as it takes to get all the grime off." She got up and left the camper with one more ruffle of his hair. Outside, she expertly hooked up the lines and electricity. Back inside, she started clearing the table, putting the few remaining burgers in the fridge for breakfast, but leaving one out for Jay in case he was hungry after his shower.

Ray finished his current burger, he was fully intending on using as much soap as it took. He had watched Ktariel as she had left to do whatever it was she was doing. He was glad that the store wouldn't send the hounds after them, he really didn't to die or go back. Once he was fully finished his own meal he stood up and looked at her "Um where is the bathroom?" he whispered feeling kindof silly as he hadn't been paying much attention to the layout of the place.

Katriel chuckled. "See this little closet?" she asked, opening a door to reveal a small toilet and a tiny sink. A shower-head stuck out of the wall and a drain was in the floor; the whole room was the shower stall. "Yeah, it's not a luxurious suite, but it'll get you clean. Clean towels are in the closet here--" she reached across the walkway to the cuboard and opened it to show him. "--but if you take one in with you, it'll get soaked. Just warn me before you open the door and I promise I won't peak. So, enjoy your shower. I'll see if I can rustle up some dessert."

"Ok I'll warn you!" Ray said as he stepped into the bathroom, with a quick look at everything he closed the door and stripped. He got into the shower and proceeded to clean himself as best as he could. He had cleaned his lower half and chest but when he tried to reach for the back of his shoulders he found that he couldn't quit reached as far as he wanted to. He wondered if he could ask Katriel for help with his back, he blushed at the thought so instead he did his hair. Once that was done he frowned to himself, he'd like to be completely clean but he also didn't want to bother her either "What shall I do?" he questioned himself "should I ask her for help or look for an alternative?" he muttered hoping that Katriel didn't hear what he was asking himself. His mouth watered at the thought of dessert.

Katriel's sensitive canine ears perked at Ray's dilema. She knocked on the bathroom door. "Hey, hun. Do you need anything?" she called. "I can help you get those hard-to-reach spots. After all, we're sharing a bed tonight, so since we're sacrificing modesty anyway, you should be as clean as possible."

"Please do my beautiful saviour!" he said in a tone that said he was getting worked up over the little dilema he had found himself in, he should have realised that all modesty was going out the window but he just didn't want her to see the bad state he was truly in. Even his healing ailities couldn't handle the amount of injuries he had on his person as the manager of the store would just create heaps more so he gave up trying to recover from them. The manager had been bi so reguarly bedded quite a number of those up for sale. He shivered as he thought about him. Don't think about him! he yelled at himself in his mind. As he waited for Katriel to join him in the shower with his face as red a cherry tomato.

Katriel opened the door and stood in the doorway. It was really too small for two people anyway. She found a washcloth and some soap and gently lathered his back. She could see the scars and bruises--including the tell-tale finger print-shaped blue marks on his hips. She had a good idea of what had happened in that hell hole. With as much tenderness as possible, she washed his back. "There," she sad, handing around the washcloth around and back to him. "Rinse off and I'll hand you a towel. Then we can rub some oil and ointment on you."

Ray sighed as Katriel helped him with his back, he dreaded what she was thinking about his scars. He knew that she was being as gentle as possible but it still hurt him quite a bit. "Ok Katriel thank you" he said sincerely, he could never thank her enough for what she's done for him already. Once he had rinsed himself of he stepped out peeked round the door "May I have that twel now please?" he said shyly.
