Silvertip Mountain So hungry

Zaria was clearly displeased with the news that Mason seemed to be gone. Steady had always seen the best in Mason, always believed he would live up to his full potential. But, the dark wolf didn't know what to think if Mason had really left the pack in such a time of need. They were all grieving over the losses of Fitz and June, but that didn't mean you abandoned the family still living. But, Steady would not be angry at Mason. 

His eyes widened when she admitted she didn't care about the other members. After all, they were all participating in feeding those pups before themselves. Even if Zaria was pissed at the world, how could she not care about the ones trying to keep her babies alive? Steady didn't voice a word of his thoughts, however, feeling it would not help the situation. Zaria was in a difficult time, and he didn't want to push her too far. His features softened when she blessed him with her respect. That means a lot to me, Zaria. Thank you, he responded, his voice soft. I hope I lead this pack half as well as you and Fitz did, he added, knowing he had big shoes to fill.
