Silvertip Mountain Gotta let go sometime

Steady nodded as memories came back to him. Oh, that's right. I forgot you were there, he said. He had been very focused on Niita. He must have blocked Ezekiel out of the memory. Oops. The male didn't seem to put off by it, however, and Steady was glad. 

Steady returned the grin, knowing where the male was going with this. Yes, I just wanted to make sure she knew her way around, he said casually. He would have usually paired her with a non-leader, but he couldn't help but take her around himself. He knew he really didn't have any right to claim Niita, and he didn't really want to unless she was ready to go that route. But, he didn't want any of the other males of Silvertip to get any ideas about her, either.
