Phoenix Maplewood she has used ancient and sanctified words

Their exchange was so awkward: for most of the time after his mate arrived, Reek tirelessly looked for an escape route. However, the opportunity to take his leave didn't present itself in time, and Reek spent the rest of their terse meeting with a dumb expression plastered all across his face.  Lasher once again went over the information he had previously told Reek, but this time for Saena's ears. After the job was done, he turned tail and left.

In Reek's mind, there was something respectable about Lasher making the journey all the way to the Maplewood to correct Dante's oversight, but Reek didn't let on to his wife that he felt that way... at least, not yet.  She would need her time to be angry.  Of course, it was only natural to feel such a way and Reek was hard pressed to interfere with the process.  

Instead, he would offer his silent support. He neared his mate's side and could see her muscles had grown taut and rigid he pressed his face against her neck and offered no words, but he wanted to make it abundantly clear; he was with her no matter what.
