It would be a lie to state that he was not immensely relieved by her acceptance of his arm. The gentle touch immediately spurned within the male his feelings of melancholia - Rather, the e'er so slight connection filled him with an energy, regardless of the emptiness of his stomach and the gradual failing of his immense, but somewhat clumsy, strength. The gentle giant required food as much as she did, but although the end result was rather urgent, the walk to his snares could be taken at a somewhat leisurely pace as they were not far from the shelter.
Talitha's gentle hug made a slight blush color the ivory fur of his cheeks, but the accented youth hid it away behind his wolfish smile. Once she pulled back, the pair fell into stride. Caillen was surprised at the woman's ability to match his speed - He had started off walking slowly, but she was not the weak damsel he had feared her to be, and soon the pace was more natural for the two canines.
At her question, the brute shook his head, looking somewhat quizzical. "Nae, Lady, they are close by here. Those who are looking for ye... You dinnae want them tae find ye?" If she had been joking, her humor was lost on the kindhearted dolt, who immediately summed up a less than favourable image in his head. These souls who were searching for Talitha... What if they had been the ones to drive her up here into the mountains? The look of merriment that had been on his face prior melted away to reveal a surprisingly hardened look; ice blue eyes grazed the woman's beautiful face severely for a moment. "You needn't fear anyone, miss Tali. If the lookers come fer ye, I will stop them." Although spoken quietly, there was a strange note of underlying menace in the male's tone. He would protect her, if she required it.
