Her voice was so distant and foreign to him that she might as well not spoken to him at all, tears poured from bleached eyes as all the hurt and sadness ran rampant throughout his body even as he lapsed into silence, he barely registered her kneeling down in front of him. The sound of his own breathing seemed desperately loud to earthen ears as they twitched and rotated in futile movements. It took the entire length of her daring speech but eventually the tears stopped and the sobbing died down and all that was left was hollowed tiredness and a sense of empty self inflicted pain. THe man took several deep breaths silently thanking the gods that he had managed to hide every one of his breakdowns from the daughter he looked after, he didn't know how she would react if she saw the hard unmovable rock she depended on was filled with so many cracks, large and small and was built on such unstable ground.
Unhurried hands moved to push away locks of black hair from his face and pull them back into their tie, a lick on the cheek causing an almost shadow of a smile to appear. He rubbed at his face while the white grey wolfess got to her feet, wetness soaking his cheeks and muzzle. Now his mind was not as jumbled he started to feel embarrassed about his outburst, he cleared his throat lightly and took her hand gently, using mostly the strength of his legs to haul himself to his feet so as not to pull her over with his greater bulk. Once more he towered over her but his slouched demeanor made him appear smaller than he really was,
"Si, cannot have women doing all of the men's jobs." He supposed if she really wanted to take offense at that then she could do, he didn't mean in the way that she was weak but that he respected them enough that he would rather do the work himself than subject them to hard labor, if she wanted to work with him then she was welcomed to.
