Blackfeather Woods My past has tasted bitter

He had noticed the lack of Khalil's presence in the woods, but to be honest he wasn't sure he cared that the boy was gone. If anything, he supposed he would consider himself glad. Neo had never liked him, and it was obvious he had never liked Neo either - perhaps that was why he left. Or maybe he simply did not like it here. The Svartell boy, either way, was not upset by the other wolf's apparent departure - after all, it would mean less competition. For sure there would have been a fight of sorts in the future if both boys had remained here, and Neo had no plans of leaving.

The explanation from Nyx made his brows wrinkle slightly, and he realised it would make sense. Vaati had seemed to dislike Neo from the moment they made eye contact, though, even before he knew of him being Nyx's ward. Perhaps he had already known? The boy could not be sure. "Alright." He agreed to not mention it - it wasn't something he planned to bring up anyway.
