Heron Lake Plateau when you told me i didn't give you enough

He hadn't imagined that she would give in and was surprised when she did. As he watched, he could almost see something change within her, and he couldn't help but feel bad. Maybe he should have offered to stay here with her -- but what good would that have done? They would have been two naive young wolves fending for themselves in unfamiliar territory in the middle of a famine. He just couldn't see that ending well for either of them.

Despite that, he felt some measure of relief as she relented. He took a tentative step towards her, gently pressing his nose against her cheek for a long moment. "Don't apologize. We might not know each other that well, but I'm here for you," he said, meeting her icy gaze. "My offer still stands -- I'll go to Donnelaith with you, if you want backup," he reiterated in the next breath.
