Hestia sat in a small restaurant, drinking tea as she studied for her potions class. She heard someone walk up next to her, mumbling, "Sorry, I can leave if I’m taking up too much space," though she didn’t look up.

"No, not at all." Doe smiled, sitting beside her.

"Believe it or not, witch, this has absolutely and completely nothing to do with you,” he assured her. And truthfully, it didn’t. He cared not whether she died or was injured, save for how it would affect Kayleigh.

"Of course not, since everything is actually about you. What you want, what you think is best."

Fenrir huffed as she turned and walked away, running a hand through his hair and glancing up the street. He could walk away, true, but he needed to make sure she wouldn’t try to move in the middle of the night. It was always so exhausting trying to find them again. He sighed heavily, and entered the shop behind her.

"I wasn’t finished."

Doe picked up a fancy paper doll set, wincing slightly at the price. "I'm finished with this, this conversation. This thing where you where you try to make my life hell to satisfy your sick need."

“Stop,” he muttered. “Just stop.” She didn’t understand, and it was making him angry. He clenched his fists.

"I'll stop when you will." Doe retorted, turning back around and entering the nearest shop. She took deep breathes as she looked around, happy the store she'd ran into had toys for children.

"I told you, all I want to do is keep her during a full moon.I would bring her back," he muttered. One day she would choose to go with him.

"Go make your own family, I'm sure there are plenty of willing she-wolfs out there that would have your baby, give you love."

"She’s not,” he growled. He wouldn’t believe it. “Let me see her and you’ll know.”

"Seeing you would confuse her more. And we both know the minute you have her I'll never see my baby again. You'll have won and I'll be alone."

"Why don’t you ask her about that, then,” he muttered, thinking of the story book he had given her. Thinking of how, when she saw him, she called him “Daddy.” He couldn’t lose Kayleigh, he would do anything to keep that from happening.

"She's confused." Doe whispered at his words, her hands trembling as she tried to calm herself. She didn't tell him Kayleigh talked about him constantly, drawing pictures of the three of them as a family.

Asking when Daddy would be home.

“Everyone loses things. You can’t do this without me. Kayleigh needs me. And I’m not letting her go.”

"Two lives, one being an innocent child aren't just things. She doesn't need you, and I don't need you to help me. She isn't your daughter and never will be."

Doe turned away from him, shaking her head once again.

“Doe,” he insisted, voice rising slightly in both anger and panic.

He took a breath, calming himself. He hadn’t meant to scare her. Not this time. “You may hate me, but I will not lose her. And I will not hurt her. Do you understand?”

Doe shook her head, still unable to look at Fenrir. She shuddered at his words, feeling uneasy and terrified.

"You can't lose what you never had. We're trying to heal Fe-" Doe paused, unable to address him fully. "Why do you have to do this to us, after all we've lost?"
