Hoshor Plains where you are

Despite his feelings on the matter of people leaving, Rannoch felt bad that his dampened feelings had rubbed off on Lagan. Momentarily condemning his openness, as he should have known this would happen, Rannoch attempted to navigate their conversation to happier frontiers. Once a topic was chosen, one that Rannoch was convinced would effectively navigate Lagan from his downcast mood, the Alpha committed to it and asked.

As he suspected, it was the right inquiry to remove him from his crestfallen spirit. In reaction to this accomplishment, Rannoch's posture rose as the edges of his lips lifted, finding the happiness to be as contagious as the sadness had been. In addition to their new-found happiness, Rannoch also obtained some helpful information that would help him become a better Sitter. As the physical contact prompted him, Rannoch growled fondly, his tail swaying as he listened to what Lagan offered. 

"That makes sense," he admitted. "So when do we become involved with Sitting? Once they're weaned?" To Rannoch, this made the most sense, but he figured that he'd pass it by Lagan before assuming that it was factual.
