Moonspear Ah, decisions

It seemed both Charon and Amekaze both had reservations about Dash's request. Dash was suddenly rethinking it himself. He didn't want to upset his leaders or come off as ungrateful. But, he knew what he needed. I will continue to be loyal and steadfast, I promise, he assured them.

He took a moment to try and think of how to explain to them how he felt. Most wolves, I think, would naturally adapt and become more of leader as they're promoted... I may take a little more time. I don't... feel like a leader, of any kind, over anyone. I don't feel confident in showing someone what their place is here when I don't feel I've quite made my own yet. He hoped that made sense.

He took a deep breath. Simply, I'm asking to be placed at a lower rank, not because my work will change, but just because I feel more comfortable there... For now. He wanted to watch their faces, to gauge their reactions, but he knew it would be rude and insubordinate to make eye contact, so he didn't.
