Bramblepoint Self-appraisal

Steady had let the male go, non too softly, and he fled, not bothering to stick around and chat. Steady watched him go, his anger replaced with guilt. He turned to Mason, who was obviously fine. I'm so sorry. I thought he was attacking you, he said. Steady had felt he had perfectly good reason to attack the male. How would he have known they were simply sparring?

Steady knew Mason was growing up, and with that probably feeling a little more adventurous. As much as Steady would like to confine him to the pack lands, he knew that wasn't a possibility. Mason would learn through his own experiences, and Steady would have to let him.

Steady sighed. Maybe I should go after him, apologize, he said. He didn't want to ruin any friendships Mason had with his own overbearing and protective personality.
