"Mm sometimes." Sometimes humans actively try for simple solutions. Sometimes they just appear simple because they came from a simpler time. Sometimes humans just got lucky with a lazy solution. This time, it's just simplicity that works. Something that humans have done for a very long time now and have seen no reason to change it. How very not human-like of them.

Elyas looks up at Silvio with that bright smile on his face, then sits up a little taller so he can press his nose to Silvio's face, right next to the corner of that beautiful smile. "I can keep me pretty safe too you know. Your fox is no ordinary fox." He softly kisses that same corner of Silvio's mouth. "Humans are usually pretty easy to trick. I could probably change my hair colour and go unnoticed." And yet he's not gone into the city before because he worries that maybe the hunters are a little more perceptive than the average human. He did kill their friend. Maybe they remember more about him than others might.

"You're very clever and resourceful. But as your mate and you as my pack? I'm going to keep you safe."

He nuzzled that nose a little. Elyas was so sweet now that he was used to him. Now that they were mates.

"We'll go together and find the perfect materials for your leaf."

"That doesn't mean I can't help you with it. I don't have to make it easy for them to spot me if they're around." Yes, he's a shapeshifter and could conceivably change his entire appearance to go completely unnoticed by the hunters, but it's difficult for him. He's out of practice shifting into any but this form. Well this and a regular looking, single-tailed fox. But that's simple.. Changing smalls parts of his appearance has never been a difficult skill to maintain. Fox or human.

"We go home first so I can put the leaf somewhere safe, then we go into the city."

Now that Elyas is no longer quite so skittish around the werewolf, he now feels able to show him who he really is. He's not so standoffish anymore. He's not keeping his distance both emotionally and physically. He no longer feels the need to fiercely protect himself from the large predator. He's growing more comfortable. He can allow himself to be sweet with Silvio. It's nice, feeling like he can relax now and let his guard down.
