Altar of Twilight Oh,I need this

Mason was instantly sympathetic, which Floki appreciated. It only served to strengthen the inexplicable bond he felt with this near-stranger. Sadly, Mason was more supportive of his new role than Tevinter had been; that realization felt like a knife twisting in his gut, though he quickly disregarded his emotions. He was becoming a pro at bottling his thoughts and feelings.

He listened, though, as Mason attempted to discuss the problem with him and offer solutions. He nodded his head, considering his companion's words. "Well, it's a long story, but basically Charon and I have just been there for each other our whole lives, so I guess he feels like we would make a good team if I was his Beta. Tevinter is my twin, but he went missing when we were very young, so we grew up separately," he explained. It sounded like even more of a mess when he tried to simplify it, but he didn't want to bore Mason with the whole tale of the Lodbrok clan.

"Anyway, yeah, I hope Tev will come around eventually. He and Charon kind of seem to butt heads, but Wildfire -- my girlfriend -- thinks things will resolve sooner or later..." He trailed off, failing to notice that he had, for the first time, referred to Wildfire with an official label. He tilted his head slightly and asked, "Do you think you'll accept your dad's offer to be Beta?" Although he hardly knew Mason, he kind of wanted the boy to take the step up into leadership -- perhaps they could be there for each other as they matured into adulthood.
