Henry and Sterling were not the only individuals that were a bit concerned about this ordeal. The young woman had her own doubts. How could she not stop thinking how horrible this could turn out? Even though it happened a long time ago Raven was still ashamed that she had attacked the Fae. The Fae was no longer a part of their lives anymore, but she still felt a bit guilty about it. Hopefully today would be different for Henry and Sterling. The lupine trusted her Alpha and she was willing to give this a try. Although whatever she and Tetradore did that wouldn't be enough. Sterling and Henry had to put in effort, a lot of effort in order to make this work. Descending down the stairs she watched the trio picking up easily on the tension between Henry and Sterling. This would not do if they were going to be like this. With a chipper voice she spoke aloud, letting her presence be known, and trying to break the ice. Seeing that rare small smile come from her Alpha she beamed quite proudly. It was rare when she could ever get him to smile like that. Playfully her eyes would roll as she replied in jest.

"I can only tire him out for so long. Besides we all know you're his favorite."

Gently her shoulder would brush against his own as she settled standing next to him. Looking over at Sterling she gave him a small smile. Maybe they should have met each other before this. They could have had dinner. Tried to get to know one another. Maybe settle him down and give a crash course about Weres right before they jumped in on this venture. Raven offered to answer any questions Sterling had, because he was sure to have them in the first place! Being turned down to answer any questions wasn't really surprising. Quietly she nodded her head in agreement as Henry was willing to explain that Sterling could open up and ask whatever sort of questions he had. Feeling fingers tugging on her sleeve she looked over seeing a familiar pair of green eyes looking at. With a subtle nod of agreement she murmured her response softly.

"Of course Tetra, I promise I will do my best."

If Raven didn't feel the pressure before she surely felt it now! Unsure of how to handle this she looked over at Sterling trying to figure out just what she was going to do or even say. Taking a step forward she sat down in a chair next to him. As the two boys walked to the other side of the room she turned her focus onto the warlock. How was she supposed to make a person, she didn't know, trust anything she said? Well, if she was in his shoes what would she want to know? Pulling some of her golden brown curls out of face she sighed softly attempting to try to answer those questions that she would surely have if their positons were switched.

"Sterling, I know you are apprehensive about all of this, but you have to know that Tetra and I are going to make sure nothing happens to you. Henry is in our pack and since you are his mate you are in our pack too. We look out for one another."

Well, it was true! Their small pack was their family. All of them were connected to each other. No one in their little group would betray or harm the other for any reason. Henry was in their pack. Sure, it was by mistake, but sometimes mistakes were a good thing. Between her and Tetradore Sterling and Henry had nothing to worry about. Hearing the familiar sound of bones cracking and popping she looked over to see the two of them shifting. That growl from Henry caused her body to grow still for a moment anticipating for anything, and when Henry didn't react in a negative manner she looked over to Sterling. It wasn't hard to notice that he was getting more upset. Grabbing one of his hands she gently tugged it speaking his name softly getting him to focus on her. Keeping her voice calm and steady she slowly began to explain to the man just what their intentions were going to be.

"Don't focus on them right now, focus on me. What we're going to do is to try and get Henry's panther to recognize that you are not a threat, that you are a member of our pack. We Weres have a strong bond between one another when we're in a pack. Even though you're not a Were, you are still one of us. If we can get him to see you are pack we can build from that."

For a moment she paused looking over at the two large ebony cats. Seeing Tetradore bump and growl at Henry she looked over at Sterling.

"Henry was just curious and is trying to asses you, but Tetradore bumped into him on purpose. First he wanted to distract him and second he wanted to correct him. This is a good thing."

As Tetradore started to come forward she let go of Sterling's hand gesturing for Sterling to focus on him as she spoke.

"Tetra is coming over and he's going to rub against you, let him, because right now he is placing his mark on you. We're creatures that rely on scent it helps us know who is friend and who is foe. Go on ahead and rub your hand through his fur so that you can mix your scent with him....this is going to help Henry see that you are pack and therefore a friend."
