Hushed Willows Cause' we're connected!

She didn't smile enough. That was the first thought from the dark wolf as he saw the way she lit up at the mention of her son. He smiled gently himself, giving her a fond nudge as she seemed to look a little embarrassed. "I haven't heard him," He offered quietly, indicating that he was trying to listen for the little guy just on the off chance he needed his mommy. "He's got a good mom." Stark offered, and although he didn't know what had happened to the other little boy he wouldn't have changed his opinion. "And there's a whole pack that cares." He knew he did, at the very least. He knew Warbone must have as well, else he wouldn't have offered them a home. 

"You couldn't raise them both, you know." that was his take - Reek needed someone to tend to him, keep him afloat. Tavi wouldn't do that and try and take care of Tambourine too. It wouldn't have been fair to any of them at all. He drew in a breath, exhaling slowly. He was being presumptuous but it was the truth. They never would have made it so far if she had to take up the mantle of caregiver to all.
