Phantom Hollow The Guilt I Have Pulls Me Down

She thought Judas looked genuinely happy to hear that she'd mended well, and Mitanni was a little surprised by it. He'd been pretty intent upon causing as much damage as he could until Issun had pulled him off of her. Maybe he really was turning over a new leaf?

His admitted fear of not being welcomed back among the pack was well-founded, but it was the statement that followed that struck Mitanni most. What they see in me... Undoubtedly she was one of those who still saw the traitor in him. She still fought to push the memory back, to not let it haunt her, and she hoped by being here she was making progress.

The offer he made of assistance caught her off guard, and she wasn't at all sure how to answer. She wasn't sure she fully trusted him yet, wasn't sure she still wanted his help. But if he was staying, and Malice had given him the go ahead to start socializing with the pack again...

There was still uncertainty in her gaze, but she wanted to trust her leader's judgment. "You said we could work on tracking," she ventured, wondering if he recalled their conversation when he'd assisted her with sneaking around the woods. Though it still made her visibly uncomfortable, though she still couldn't quite shake her worry, Mitanni felt she needed to make an effort. "Since you're free, maybe we still could. Sometime."

Didn't see your edit, we're good now.
