Silvertip Mountain In the shadow of the mountain

My mouthy boy did something right for once! Hehe ;) Thanks! <3 @Krypton, after your next post wanna fade?

At Steady's words, relief flooded Phocion, and his face broke into a small grin of gratitude. "Thank you, sir," he said softly to the male, then turned to Krypton. "And to you as well, Krypton. I apologize for the earlier disrespect. It won't happen again; I can assure you."

Inside, his heart leapt. A member of a pack! This was an entirely new feeling to Phocion, and he reveled in it.

And pups! New blood was always good. He loved pups, though the male had told him he wasn't allowed to go near. Still, he would put his energy into providing for their nourishment. A group of wolves was only healthy when its youth thrived.

Still looking at Krypton--though taking care not to look the wrong way--he said, "So you are my mentor. Excellent. Cannot wait for your first lessons." The smile he directed her way was kind.
