House warming [Mikhal]

Carina's nose had been filled with the smell of brewing coffee, and her eyes trained to find the ingredients she needed. Even though she had expected Mikhal, she had expected him to announce himself, so when nobody said anything she seemed to bristle as foot steps got closer. Then, in a very sudden feeling was hands on her side's, making her turn around, scared her into half transforming. The Alpha across from her, who looked a little shocked seemed anything but dangerous to her as he blinked back at her in surprise. She raised her eyebrow, her claws retracting and her red Alpha eyes fading.

Carina bit back the growl, returning to the fridge to pull out the ingredients of the meal she had in mind. She used the time to hide her blush from him. She couldn't believe she had actually been startled. She felt bad but forced herself to focus on putting the ingredients in the counter, closing the fridge door with her hip. "Hey, sorry you startled me. No, you did come for lunch but I have a question, do you like spicy food?" This question would depend on what ingredients she would add.

Her soft t-shirt was a bit form fitting but not like her others, she was dressing comfy after all. She looked at him then at the door. Was he going to close it? She hoped he'd get the hint because in all honesty, she was worried about nosy neighbors. Open door seemed to mean 'come in' though, for Mikhal, it had. "Want some coffee? "

Carina smiled as he played around like a child. He looked around her house, taking it all in as he made various comments on her house he asked if she had any enemies. "If you saw them, they wouldn't be traps, Mikhal" She called to him with a small smile as she worked on spicing the food. She then listened to him come back to standing right behind her, watching her cook. She did not mind, the smells from the food she was making pleasent and starting to smell mildly spicy.

He began grabbing her ingredients and she couldn't help glance at him. He was being childish and it was pretty darn cute. Though, if he didn't want his food burnt, she needed those ingredients. Now, she hadn't had a chance to test her speed and agility from being and Alpha. There was never a better time. She turned off the stove, and smiled glancing behind her. She was gone in the blink of an eye one moment there the next gone. She wrapped her arms around him from behind and whispered in his earn " Oh, I'm an Alpha." she murmured this as she moved her hands up and grabbed the spice bottles from his hands. "Now come on." She said returning to the stove putting in the last ingredients and giving a final stir. It was a thick spicy enchilada soup with a rice dish on the side. "Lunch is done."

Carina watched him eat in silence. She smiled when he complimented her and even chuckled a little under her breath as he made the comments about her food being, well, really hot. After sometime of eating in silence Carina noticed he was about to run out of water. From the look on his face he was not used to eating truly spicy food. So, she got up to get a pitcher of ice water. He seemed to be looking at her like he had something on his mind. She did not doubt he would tell her sooner or later. She refilled his glass and set it down. She was about to move to put it away when he said her name. She set down the pitcher of water on the table and waited for him to ask her the question.

"Carina. ..have you ever killed another werewolf. ..not your alpha like a beta...or even a human?" She raised her eyebrow a little, a bit surprised at the suddenness of the subject but not all that surprised of the subject itself. Despite that she moved to sit on the corner of the table on Mikhal's side so she could look at him. She had felt something was a bit off with him that day but did not think to mention it unless he wanted her to. He seemed to look at her with this look that made it clear she needed to give him a nice hopeful answer. So she rested her hands on her lap and said a bit thoughtful "No, I have personally never killed anyone besides my grandfather, the Alpha. I have fought with others and I have attacked other werewolves when necessary. I've had the need to hunt and the desire to spill blood, just like any other werewolf, namely on the full moon. But, I have always been able to stop before I made the decision to kill." She kept her voice soft, because in this time she almost felt that Mikhal was fragile. "Why?"

She wasn't sure what he'd need out of her. Whether it be comfort or security, she wasn't sure. Perhaps both. Though he still did not know about the nightmare's she's been having from her pack's slaughter and the panic attack's she had the first few day's here. She'd never want him to know, though. She'd much rather take those secret's to her grave. BUT, those were problem's for another time. Today she would focus on him.

Carina watched him with a gentle gaze. She gave his hand a little squeeze as he took her hand. He was standing across from her and held her hand. She gave a small smile and rested her other hand on the side of his face "Mikhal...-" she said evenly, slowly. She kept her hand there stroking the side of his face, to give him some sort of comfort, if any. "You are asking a lot of me." and he was. He was asking so much of her. She relented though, she would do what needed to be done. " Mikhal if you lose yourself I will do what needs to be done, I will do it for you but only if there is no evidence of getting the man who is standing before me back." She was telling him the honest to goodness truth. She could not promise to simply kill him at the slightest hint of trouble. If he was going to ask her to risk her life, she was going to make him promise her this. She needed to make sure that he was a danger, completely gone for her to be able to kill him

She moved her hand to his shoulder and leaned closer and moved him down so that she could kiss the top of his head. When she moved back she looked him in the eyes. "As long as there is a chance to save you because, no matter what you say the fact that you are standing here with me, that is proof there is hope." She had that edge in her voice, she wasn't asking. She was telling him. He was no monster. Sure, He had done some bad thing's, some pretty horrific and monstrous thing's. Thing's many people would never forgive yet, these were her terms. " As for this other Alpha I promise you I will run. In which direction, I can't promise you for I won't know." This was what she could give him. She then moved past him and made her way into the kitchen. " Come on, grab your dishes I'll wash, you dry them."
