Emerald flecked gaze tracked the pack of kids as they left, almost wishing they would turn back and give him a reason to tan their hides. As the mass of them departed, and the last straggler was making a quick retreat, he turned his attention to Angelina. Where any other fool to lay a hand on him in such a state, they where likely to receive his rage as much as those who'd started this whole mess. He looked down at her hand, let the calm of her touch wash over him before he tipped his gaze to meet hers. The emerald green flecks that had begun to show through were quickly fading back to their normal brown.
A slight shudder ran down his back, likely she'd feel the momentary tremble through her contact with his arm. He rolled his shoulders and gave her a slight smirk "Sorry... Lets have a look at that hand" He took her wrist with a light touch, leaving her room to pull away if she wished, but his tone left little room for refusal. He raised her hand, gently running his thumb across her knuckles before bringing them up to his nose. He held them close to his nose and breathed deep, taking in the scent of minor internal bleeding. To any onlooker, it would look like he was kissing them all better.
He released her hand with a slightly sheepish smirk, an apology for this bit of odd behavior "Lets get some ice on those before they start bruising... Nothing broken though" He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his pants and let his gaze slide around the bar once more to be sure everything was back to normal. His gaze fell on the back of the man from the alley, the one he'd all but forgotten about. Wolf didn't care about some down and out stranger when his Pack was in danger!
Craig ran a hand through his wild dark hair and gave Angelina a light pat on the back before he headed towards the retreating figure. He pulled his keys from where they had been clipped to his belt, sliding one free as he walked. "Hey. Sorry about that, hazard or the job..." He clipped his keys back to his belt and palmed the single key he'd removed "You should be able to make it to the apartments before it starts raining. 308. You'll have to take the stairs, the lifts been out all week" He offered the key to the stranger, waiting for him to take it "There's beer and food in the fridge. And feel free to shower if you need it. Just don't abuse my hospitality" He didn't feel he needed to threaten, just warn. The man didn't smell of drugs or alcohol, so he wasn't too worried about letting him in. Worst case, he had to track him down later, and that wouldn't take long.
