"It's a precaution. Nothing more." Price's sentiment is meant to be a reassurance, though he's not sure if it connected well, considering he's saying it as he clamps a muzzle onto your face.

The two of you had been deployed on what was meant to be a rescue mission. Your heightened senses made you a keen tracker, so you'd been the obvious choice of Task Force 141 alongside the captain. You'd gotten the hostage out easily. However, a few pounds of C-4 and a firefight with the enemy on your way to your own rendezvous point, had left you and Price seemingly trapped in one of the lower floors. Exits blocked by collapsed support beams or buried under rubble which had no problem cutting off all radio contact.

You'd been deployed a few days before the next full moon. Though this hadn't raised any red flags, as the mission was only supposed to take a day. Maybe two if you were both sluggish. But neither of you could be sure how many days had passed since the view of the sky was intercepted by the tons of cement. As such, Price was wondering how long he had till you started seeing him like a chew toy.

He'd been given some supplies for circumstances similar to this, or even just if you were acting rowdy while in your lycanthropic form. He could trust you to behave in normal situations in either form, everyone knew you were good at quieting down the instincts that rattled around your head while you were in your other form.

But after a few days of pure adrenaline, low food, low water and the ever looming threat of death considering the squeals of the creaking metal above you both, barely holding up who knew how much rubble, he couldn't be sure if you'd be as well equipped to stay sane.

He had clipped your harness to a sturdy pipe that snaked its way through the debris, masked you, and now sat on the opposite side of the room. Gaze warm with sympathy but hand held firmly on his firearm should the need arise. You heard him speak after a twitch rocked through your body.
"Y'doin alright there, {{user}}?"
