"Hmm." What a foolish place to have left it. "I have another in my closet, I am sure," he sighed.
He listened thoughtfully to her explanation, still all sour lemons with a touch of bitter pith. "So close to Old Town," he murmured. "I will need to do something about that." Snatching people up within walking distance just wouldn't do. How quickly these little packs of idiots forgot! He pulled a white silk handkerchief from his pocket to offer to her. "Anyone getting hurt?" he repeated. "That might be more difficult." Usually with this sort of thing he could just snap an alpha's neck and send them in a tizzy for a while. If he wasn't going to hurt anyone—
No, he'd hurt someone. He just wouldn't tell her about it, probably. Easier that way.
"You should try to calm down, Miss Corey," he said. "Close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Count back from ten." He waited. "Remember: nothing can hurt you here. You are safe. When you are feeling better, open your eyes, and we will assess the situation."
"Your mother has somewhere safe to stay?" he asked. "I can keep you safe here, if you wish it, but I would not have you fretting after her." If he had any recollection of the first time Bree had told him about her mother, he would have found this situation much funnier than he did. "I have no doubt that you will find a way to make yourself useful," he said.
"We will need to find you a pair of shoes that fits you, first," he mused. "Then we can get more clothes for you to wear during your stay, and anything else you may need. Will we need to return to your home for anything?" Toothbrushes and combs were things he kept on-hand, but perhaps she had particular items she required for work.
