Jensen watched the boy scamper out of the room with a grin. The kid was just so adorable and smart and quickly stealing the man's heart. His dark eyes turned back to Ian as he took a last bite of waffles and chewed thoughtfully. "I don't think so. I only heard the faintest rumor of it, a town or two over when I stopped for gas. It was one of those, 'did you hear so-and-so say that he heard so-and-so from the next town over say he saw a wolf.' I barely paid it any mind myself; figured I would give it a quick check since I was bored and passing through, but I honestly expected it to just be drunk talk." Jensen said with a half-hearted shrug. "But I will nose around, WITHOUT raising any suspicions. See if someone else heard the tale and picked up any interest."

He leaned back in his chair with a content sigh, one hand rubbing at his full belly. That was the best meal he had had in a long time. "How about you let me clean up while you help out the little man." Jensen said, getting to his feet and picking up his plate. He figured it was the least he could do for Ian feeding him.
