He nodded and then turned to the blanket, carefully unwrapping it, terrified of the damage he might find.

"Mauve? Mauve, can you hear me?"

The fairy came out fighting, hands slapping at him, feet kicking. "Don't touch me you human!"

He stepped back, hands held up, giving Mauve his space. "It's alright, Mauve. You're free. Are you hurt?

Did we hurt you?"

Mauve sprang to his haunches, looking around wildly, gasping as he saw the dead man, backing away until he hit a tree. The fine form was trembling slightly, and Mauve's hair was matted with grayish purple blood, his feathers in disarray, several remaining in the fur and more dropping as he scrambled back.

The violet eyes lighted upon him and Mauve blinked. "Geoff?"

"Yes, Mauve. You're free. He will never hurt anyone again." He nodded to Mauve's head. "You're bleeding and it's cold and getting dark. Would you like to come back to the fire? Have some cider and rest?"

He didn't step forward. Any wounded, scared thing that had been imprisoned -- animal or man or fairy --

deserved its space and ability to choose.

The amazing wings spread, curling around Mauve. "He's dead?"

He nodded. "He's dead."

Mauve's wings fluttered and settled again, still set protectively around the slim figure, and the fairy took a step toward Geoff. "You killed him?"

"Wolf and I did. Yes." Geoff wanted to hold Mauve, to touch the fairy and check the wounds and give comfort, but he stayed still, allowing Mauve to come as he would.

A fierce smile lit the fairy's face. "Good."

Mauve came slowly toward him, giving the body a wide berth. "Thank you, Wolf. Thank you, Geoff.

For saving me."

Mauve stood close and rested his head against Geoff's shoulder.

"I could not allow that thing to keep you prisoner, my friend. All things deserve to be free." He stroked Mauve's back slowly. The wound on Mauve's head was shallow, already closing and the fairy seemed otherwise uninjured, barring some lost feathers and the occasional bruise. "Shall we find the fire and soft furs and perhaps a bit of a wash in warm water? That and a cup of warm broth will ease your heart and body."

"And a kiss? Do you still want to touch me, lie with me?"

Geoff smiled, leaning forward to brush a soft kiss over Mauve's forehead. "As many kisses as you will allow me. Besides," He leaned back so Mauve could see his face. "It is warmer skin to skin and it looks to be very cold over the next moon or so."

Mauve's arms slid around his neck and the fairy smiled back at him. "Take me home, Geoff, and make me warm again."
