sucks to be you

Can you fade? <3

Where she was 'emotional' with some things, if you could cal it emotional, she was not with names or phrases. Kanik's memory would not fade from her mind, but nor would she cower form saying things that reminded her of him. She was not, however, insensitive to the one bonded to her, and gave him a quick, rough nudge to the shoulder after getting to her feet. He was right. They would honor the frosted wolf's memory and protect the Spire even more than they had before. 

For maybe the second time in her life, she uttered words that no wolf other than himself had heard. "Thank you." Her gratitude to the wolf beside her was tangible, as was her appreciation for his presence. There was a new feeling there too, one she swept aside and did not think anything of. Now, more than she had ever felt in a lifetime of acquaintances and family members and packmates, Nanuk found that she cared and, in a way, loved the one that had become her only blood tie.
