Phantom Hollow Surprise! Can I sleep over?

Most definitely! They are kind of opposites though, which makes it fun I think! :D

Burke did not know the answer to her question. What was he doing to himself? Living, and doing his duties as an alpha. Sure, he was not allowing much personal feelings to disturb that but he was fine with it, at least, he thought so. He didn't know what else to do than to just work through it. Quite literally. He would only work, for the most part. What Burke didn't know was that he was somewhat idolized by Malice, and that her vision of him might be changing soon.

"And that is where you are wrong. I do not burst. I work through it by doing other tasks. I know it is not ideal but I can't really be a therapist or advisor for myself," he pointed out. "Though there was another female, a good friend, though I meet her only scarcely from time to time. She let me yell as loud as I could and that seemed to help, though for me, here it is too crowded. I don't need anyone to hear that," he spoke with that calm tone, always so reserved. Always so thoughtful of his next move. Then Malice became Malice again. She apologized for something, but Burke did not know what. He looked at her with a questioning gaze. Even she didn't seem certain about what she apologized for.

Once again, she seemed so jumpy around him, like she thought he was going to beat her to a pulp for saying something out of line. He looked at her with his pale blue eyes, almost grey in this light. The male looked closely at her. He couldn't figure her out, why she would react in a certain away. She was not like any of the females he had ever met, so outspoken and yet.... submissive towards him? He couldn't really place it, because she was not that submissive either. "It is just.... how I work...," he stated then. And the pathetic thing was that none of his pack mates seemed to see what she was seeing. None really asked, yet maybe they didn't dare to, because they were afraid. He was not that scary was he?
