There's loads of people here who ain't scared of us, but Lexa's special, ain't she? 'Cos she don't take no shit? [Rowan guesses, watching Ren carefully. Someone that isn't a Garou but acts like one around her. Rowan's as unragey as it gets for a galliard, but they've seen how people act around Ami and they can at least take a guess about how that feels for a teenager so desperate for approval as Ren is.]
Look, Ren, I don't know much about being a Fionn, so you know I can't say nothing about that, but I do know about heroes, right? And you're right, resisting what you want's a piece of it. But you know what else is? Being true to who you are. Standing up for what's right. Even if that means going against what you've been told. 'Cos those are the heroes what stand out, and that's because they made a difference in the world.
And you know what else? You can want something, and you can need something. And everyone needs to be loved. Even if it's just a fleeting thing. What inspires us to do great deeds more than love? And I think we need it even more in this place where we don't got our family or packs.
[Behind Ren's back, their hand reaches out to find Max's, briefly brushing over it. They don't linger; they need to focus on Ren, but they can't hold back from acknowledging their own love.]
