Holyshit, now who's turn is it to calm down? This isn't like the other thing. This is different! She just has to explain and he'll get it and they'll be fine.
She doesn't move her hand, she's going for sympathetic but firm, here. He needs to understand. "Because it has to be. It's survival. No nightmares, no food, sick Squishy. Most people are going to have them anyway! You just gotta go all karate kid and learn to hone those skills and snack regularly because if you try to resist it? The hunger's gonna drive you crazy and you're gonna snap it's really hard to stop a mare. I know. I've tried. But we've gotta eat, Galen."
It's not bad. It can be, but it's usually not bad. It's nature! Bo can do it, they can do it, too! Maybe it's easier for Kenzi to grasp because she's seen all this shit up close and formed her own opinion on all of it. No fae is in inherently bad just because of the way they were born. They become total assholes later on in life! Also nature.
