Rinus asks where he is going. He's got a new name: Renatus. Renatus is a member of the "Fated Guard Pair" , which means that two people are tied by fate. Rinus is hungry. He hasn't eaten in a while. He asks Renatus if he'll become his mate after they're done eating. He doesn't want to, but Renatus says he'd like to go for a walk after dinner. He chews on the food, but Rinus won't let him. He wants to escape, but he can't stand the sight of Renatus holding him.
