Phoenix Maplewood Just do it

It took a bit of patience, he even thought of looking inside Laika's den. He was curious to know if she was the one who made it. He wanted to take a look to try to guess how it's done. In fact Esaro didn't have his very own den. He slept outside and if there was bad weather he would go to the hollow trunk he took the habit of sleeping in. He resisted the temptation to look inside long enough for Laika herself to arrive.

He was going to greet her with a friendly hello but then remembered the reason why he was here. He really didn't want to tell her the news right now but if he wanted a chance to stay her friend then he just has to tell her. Maybe he didn't have to say anything yet. When Laika asked what happend, that was the moment where he couldn't walk away anymore.

He hesitated, knowing fully well that it's mainly his fault for all that's happend. "Well... I.." He wanted to lie to make it not seem so bad but he couldn't. He just has to say it. "I crossed the river while chasing prey, I just didn't know we weren't allowed to at the time." He said slowly lowering the volume with each words while lowering his head. He expected to get mad like every other member he told this to. He was just going to have to through this again, hopefully for the last time.
