Loving the developments so far. Bro doesn't come up with some unnecessary BS when he gets found out, and actually communicates his fears and how he wants to avoid what seems like certain death instead of the generic "I need to get stronger to protect blahblahblah"
It's also refreshing to see his paranoia of her hating him be put to rest, especially the way they did it. She's definitely cursing me... oh, wait, she's just horny for my scent
