Blacktail Deer Plateau Everything I didn't say

gonna squeak out a reply, sorry for holding this up

Koda listened as Scarlett explained the painful circumstances that had led to her standing before them now. He bristled slightly, angered by the treatment she'd received from her pack. "That is just... messed up," he growled, barely restraining himself from swearing out loud. "Damn, I'm sorry, Scarlett."

He was about to suggest she join the plateau when she informed him that she and her boyfriend planned to start a pack of their own. Koda was relieved to hear she'd found a man to take care of her. But why wasn't he here by her side right now, when she no doubt needed his support? "That is exciting news," he agreed, glancing at Kesuk to see what she thought. "I wish you both well," he said, unaware that Scarlett was hoping he and Kesuk would want to come along.
