Trust, that is. He doesn't expect her to place her life in his hands - though maybe that's exactly what he's asking - but he isn't expecting it. Those walls she's built around her, thick as stone, are far too familiar for him to not understand they come from somewhere. They come from a need of hers to survive, to protect herself.

She's wounded, whether she admits it or not, but if she's going to be part of the pack, then you take care of a wounded pack member.

Letting out a breath, he nods. "There's a spare room - several of 'em, really - if you need a place to stay."

Until she gets her bearings. Not forever, not if she doesn't want it.

She pauses for a moment, weighing her options, but it's not like she has many. She can't go back to the park and live in a den like an actual wolf - at least not while she's person shaped. She's probably going to be leaning on the new Hales a lot lately.

She doesn't have much of a choice, but she'll pay them back. One way or another.
