Silvertip Mountain Heating up

Steady had chosen to stay quiet, hoping Mason would acknowledge Zaria in a positive manner. Mason seemed to come to his senses and asked if he could tend to Zaria, though Zaria declined. The pair could have gone back and forth about what could have been said, or what could have been done, but Steady was relieved to see Mason, and then Zaria, let it go.

And then, Mason turned, but Steady could feel something was off. He was crying. Steady's ears flicked in worry as he stood. Zaria moved to Mason first, so Steady stayed where he was, at least until Zaria looked at him confused. She didn't know why Mason was crying, but Steady did. Walking over to his nephew, he tried to nudge his neck softly. Hey, Mason, why don't we go look for something to stop this bleeding? For all I know, Zaria hit something important and I'm bleeding to death, he said, trying to add a little humor. His main purpose, though, was to get Mason away from Zaria as quickly as he could. He looked to his Alpha, hoping she understood enough that the males needed to be alone.
