By the time the cops arrived, Zane was healed. He'd curled around Nathaniel's unconscious body like it was a teddy bear, still crying. He stroked Nathaniel's hair and muttered over and over, "She'll keep us safe. She'll keep us safe. She'll keep us safe."

* Wereleopards have a few phrases in common with werewolves, ie. "The moon is rising. Time is passing."
* To ask for protection, a leopard can petition a dominant by moving into the dominant. If it is granted, the dominant will touch the submissive which then signals to any other lycanthropes in the area that he or she will protect that petitioner from their enemies/pursuers.
* When wereleopards greet a dominant, a common practice is to lick the hand of the dominant.
