Blackfeather Woods no one but you

"Probably," Cicero said in response to Akela's comment about Damien rising to lead the pack. Cicero did not know if Damien really wanted that — that hadn't been what he was trying to say, instead meaning for the outcome of a fight between Akela and Damien if it were to happen. There were two sides of trying to garner respect by physical dominance, after all. One could lose. He did not correct himself, though, for it mattered little, and the conversation moved on.

Akela asked about him, which surprised Cicero a little. It should not have, though, he realised moments later. The subject had flowed to Damien a lot, after all. "Hm." It made Cicero realise how little goal he had in his life. He simply lead it by the day instead of thinking of what he wanted. "To see Blackfeather Woods thrive. To explore love. Cicero lives by the day." Which, when he admitted it out loud, was surprising even to Cicero, considering his love for philosophy.
