"Humans aren't helpless," he counters. He understands that an unactivated werewolf is helpless compared to an activated one, but like hell he's going to let her play that card when she's saying she's on the same level as him. "They just need time, training, and the fuckin' nerve. I'm pretty sure you have the last one and the other two shouldn't be too hard."

He wants to know more about her life specifically and why it should matter, but there's something about the almost sadness in the way she says it that stops him from prying for the moment. Instead, he gives her another smile, more sincere this time. "I'm sure you'll find someone."
