Blackfoot Forest how am I gonna be an optimist about this?;;

Lennon was surprised, how could Alarian possibly think that after what he’d done? He inched himself closer to his friend, locking his gaze with Ali’s. ”I would’ve died if you didn’t push it off me- Korei would’ve been next, you are far beyond something.” His tone was oddly serious to be coming out of his mouth. After the attack anytime he spoke sounded alien, his upbeat chirpy voice was completely gone. 

”Maybe we’re all just blaming ourselves for something we couldn’t prevent.” He gave a weak laugh, before laying his head on his paws. They were quiet for a moment, he’s noticed how different Alarian’s been and worried how long it would last. ”I know you’re lying, no ones fine after being attacked by a cougar.”
