Silvertip Mountain Indecision

Intrude?!

FitzDutiful felt his hackles raise as she spoke the words. Had she crossed the borders and he hadn't notice or was she just covering the basis in case she hadn't realised it. Could he trust a wolf that didn't realise they had crossed the borders to another pack? Maybe she hadn't crossed, knew that, but thought he would think she had. It was a confusing set of conflicts running around in his head. He chose to give her the benefit of the doubt - she was giving respect and that was a good sign.

A coward though? He failed to see what was so cowardly right now. What had she done that she considered herself so. Was it the submission for that was respect and stood her in good stead with him. "Why do you call yourself a coward?" he asked. Better to be sure that accepting her wasn't going to bring him a whole host of problems with pack conflicts.
