Northstar Vale Wilder Mind

He gave a sheepish smile as she admitted her mistake. He didn't usually correct others, but knowing one's direction was a very important thing. He tilted his head as she explained how she managed her directions. It confused him, but if it worked for her, then so be it. Interesting, was all he said, with a smile.

His stance, however, would not change on the males she was speaking of. The excuse her mate had given was a poor one, in Steady's opinion. I was missing my sister, as well, when we got separated while traveling. I had no idea what, if anything, had happened to her. But, instead of leaving, I enlisted the help of a friend to go and find her. Leaving a mate in her last month of pregnancy would never be the answer to his predicament. If he knew his sister was alive, that should have been enough to ease his mind until his family was taken care of. The conviction was strong in his voice, but he was careful not to raise it. He didn't want to scare her. Mates are supposed to stand by each other, he said softly, thinking of Mason and June's mother. She had left them when they, and Fitz, had needed her most. What was with wolves these days? Did committed mean nothing anymore?

He shrugged at her question. Well, he is... And he isn't. He seems to know when it's okay to just be one of the pack, and when it's time to be a leader. That wasn't exactly something you could teach easily. It came with experience. Fitz had a good head on his shoulders, and a lot of common sense. Steady was proud to follow him.
