[ With his expression still drawn in concern, Derek nods a little. Sometimes she heals fast, other times she doesn't. He's hoping that this is not one of those other times, because she looks like as soon as he lets go, the pain is going to bubble right back up and into her, white hot and excruciating. He's going to have to let go to get her ring for her.

His eyes narrow with confusion, brow creasing slightly when she says she needs a bunny, but when she continues Derek nods a little. ]

All right, I'm guessing you need to feed to be strong enough to heal, maybe, then? Thus the "sometimes?" I'm not a good hunter like this. I'll have to transition. Or...

[ Derek tilts his head to one side and points to his neck. ]

I'll heal. Do you have time for me to transition and go hunting or no?
