Kiara hadn’t been ready for her mate to just yet but he’s done as she requested and she’s gifted him freedom from the anger in his mind— well, until it seems that he wishes it to return. One deep red, almost brown eye opens and she smiles up at him oddly. Use of her body has given him better motor skills with her facial muscles, at least.

“The anger is your switch,” she says simply. Their telepathy is basic, and one way. She can not read his mind and he can not project his emotions to her but she can feel some sort of tugging from him. “Too much will rupture that hold, Bruce. The creature sleeps within you, yes. But what is sleeping can still awake. Is it not better to feel as you do now?”

So that was the hidden price. She’s changed him. She’s stunted him in many ways. She’s meddled with his emotions, but only as asked. And she did tell him exactly what she had been doing. He just, as Tony mentioned earlier, neglected to ask all the questions.

“Enjoy the shower. Do not wake the young. And after, tell me again how you feel.”

Not that he would get the chance. Kiara means to leave him while he’s cleaning himself off. She’s a mother now. And even her mate means nothing compared to her young.
