Firefly Glen just the same as i was

She asked how she could trust him, and he had no immediate answer. There was no way that anyone could ever truly trust another, really, but life was dull without at least trying. She seemed to ponder what to do, and Cicero wondered if she thought that there was something vicious behind his actions. If she thought that Blackfeather Woods would storm upon the plateau wolves and leave none standing. Cicero did not think that this would actually happen, though of course he did not know for sure.

At her suggestion, he grinned toothily, because there was no way that she actually expected him to say yes. "Is the wolf of the sea so attached to Cicero already that she can't bear the thought of parting ways?" Cicero tried to think of a solution to her distrust but it was difficult; he would not make promises that he could not keep, such as promising not to hurt any of them. He did not know what the future would bring, and so those were promises he could never guarantee to keep.

"Maybe not interminable. What would the wolf of the sea even wish to use Cicero's presence for, if not his wit? Perhaps an arrangement can be made for a period of time in the future." If it were to give Blackfeather Woods an advantage, then he would not mind being away from home for a month or two. He'd done it before with Bearclaw Valley, though it was different for Damien had been there.
