Silvertip Mountain Go on, give it all you got

You're so fine :)

Steady looked furious, taking another step towards him. Zeke flattened himself further, feeling a bit angry now. A portion of his head was telling him to stand up for himself, to tell Steady what had happened and if it came to a fight, fight back. But he was smart, and Steady was his friend, he wouldn't ruin everything he'd come to Teekon for over a misunderstanding. He kept himself as submissive as possible, not wanting to seem insubordinate at all. Were you being rough with her. Zeke wanted to say, 'no she freaked out!', but Niita saved him from himself.

She stepped between them, attempting to calm down the fury. She held a protective stance, she was siding with him! That wasn't something he'd expected, but he was relieved. But it wasn't her fault either. Maybe Zeke was being a little rough. He still didn't know what had gone wrong, but it was possible that he'd gotten too into it with her. In his old pack, spars were as rough as wanted, a spar without a nice scratch was hardly considered a spar. Things were different here. The more Zeke thought about it, the more he doubted himself. Perhaps he should take the punishment Steady gave. But he was sure that he would never hurt Niita on purpose. That he knew.
