Blackfeather Woods no one but you

It made sense for the pack to find back some of its natural unity after Akela had joined. That was also when Cicero and Damien were gone; when Grimnir was gone. Burke and Meldresi should have thrown him from the pack a long time ago, Cicero thought grimly, for he was what had endangered the pack's unity more than anything. Akela's next words were no surprise either, although Cicero did not think that much of the time spent with Grimnir. It had been brief compared to time spent with Damien and Baldur; and the former was certainly not despised.

"Cicero does not care for petty revenge," Cicero said calmly. He had only been involved because of Damien, really, even though he knew what Grimnir had done; he had just thought, with his youthful mind, that it was accepted by the pack. "But Damien does, and so this is a question best directed at him. Cicero thinks it helped him, though, because Grimnir now gone from Blackfeather." That was their goal, after all, even if Damien and Cicero had intended for things to end more violently than they had.
