Stavanger Bay We're all we need

He gave a glance to Niki, his conversation probably a bit out of place with her stilted answer and down expression. But, for a counselor, he wasn't much of one for sympathizing. If she had a past, it was behind her now. Better to move on.

He did not say as much, however, knowing on some level that the words were unnecessarily harsh. If she was passing through, she likely needed a pack. But his numbers were full, so inviting her to come with him wasn't much of an option. Maybe Wildfire and her friend needed some new blood. "We decided we needed a change. The plateau had a lot of history." He smiled, glad they had chosen to do so. Donnelaith was more theirs now, and it truly felt like home, even after so short a time. "I'd love it if you stopped by. I'm sure Os would love to meet you." And perhaps to hear how her brother was, he thought silently, knowing that his mate likely missed her brother terribly, even if she did not often speak of him. Some things never really went away.

Looking to Niki one more time, then to Floki, he decided now was probably a good time to make his exit. He could play catch up in a bit more detail later. "I should probably be heading back. But it was good seeing you again. And meeting you two. Feel free to stop by - just call first." He joked lightly, smiling somewhat apologetically before nodding farewell. He'd accept any return goodbyes before setting off back in the direction he'd come, the unexpected encounter delaying any further exploration for another time. He didn't want to interfere with Wildfire's own tour. He already felt as though he'd intruded, despite both Wildfire's and Loki's polite acceptance.
