Blackfeather Woods Redemption

Burke gave Damien his own point of view about the matter, which in a way made the yearling feel a little bit more comfortable with the idea of not really wanting to get involved with anyone yet. But the thought of Cicero was still lingering around his head, twisting every other idea in his mind.

Damien was not a romantic wolf at all, or at least he hadn't shown any signs of it to this point, but he was like any other feeling wolf and he longed for company. Damien was simply a lone soul, who had been abandoned many times before and who had suffered great loss in a very short amount of time. It was hard for Damien to express and accept his emotions because, like everyone around him, he believed that feelings were a weakness he had to suppress. He'd gotten that from his cold-hearted father, and it had been shaped and enforced by Meldresi's distant company during his childhood.

'What makes you think you would need to find a mate?' asked Burke, and Damien's eyes immediately shifted away. To answer that question, Damien would have to confess something he hadn't even admitted to himself. Damien still didn't have enough confidence in Burke to discuss such deep dilemmas, even if the male claimed he would be the last person to judge him.

"Have you ever fucked a male, Burke?" asked Damien without prevarication, looking into Burke's eyes respectfully, but curiously. Sex was something in which Damien saw little boundaries even if he wasn't at all experienced. Mephala herself, which Damien worships as core of his culture, is the goddess of sex, among other spheres. Damien wanted to know what the male thought about the matter first, knowing that he hadn't been born into the more carefree aspects of Damien's way of life, and that others could see homosexuality as a sin for some strange reason to him. It would be one step further towards discussing the deal with Cicero, from which Damien didn't see any good results coming.

Lets see how he deals with that xD
