The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.

Mara Susi began by speaking of Peak, a former pack mate, and Steady nodded that he did remember him. She then went on to explain that two became close, and developed feelings for each other. The story took a nasty turn, however, when Mara Susi admitted that the male had taken advantage of her. Steady's ears flattened on his head and a growl was released from his throat. But, he didn't interrupt her.
She went on to say that she had stayed for Zaria's birth, and then left when the depression became too much. He shook his head firmly when she said it was dumb. Mara Susi, I'm... I'm so sorry. I had no idea what was going on, he said, moving closer to her, as if he could protect her now from what had hurt her then. I don't think it's a dumb reason to leave. I can imagine how difficult it was to be where you've been hurt, he assured her. But, now that I know what's going on, I can promise you that if I ever see Peak again, he will pay for what he has done, he said, his voice conveying his determination. Steady was nothing if not protective, and he did not make promises he didn't intend to keep.
Calming down, Steady took a moment to think. He obviously wanted Mara Susi to return to the Mountain, but he didn't want to cause her anymore emotional pain. Would he be overstepping his boundaries if he asked? He took a deep breath. I'll completely understand if you wish not to come back, but... Well, I want to extend the invitation anyways to return to us. It was an open invitation, one that didn't require her answer, but was more intended to let her know she was welcome to come back if she felt inclined to.
