Swiftcurrent Creek redrum

Was that at WWS? Or Kindred? I was at WWS, but my activity waned in 2009 - 2013-ish.

And argh! :( Did that happen with your other kids? Must be so exhausting.

It was the first real reaction Bazi had seen. Jace was known throughout the pack for his endless patience and huge heart, and it was refreshing to see him stripped down to to his very essence: a wolf that genuinely feared for his sanity every single day, and still thrust himself into situations that could rob him of his tenuous connection to reality - for the good of the pack. He was an asset, nobody could dispute that, and as long as he fought the good fight, he deserved his place. Lesser wolves would have retreated into a hermitage, shunning interaction for fear of what it might lead to.

Every inch of him oozed irritation. He shied away from her touch, which had never happened before, and that only made Bazi want to probe further - but she didn't, for now. He did have a trigger, and she did not wish to die this day. "Then you're a good wolf, Jace," she said instead, withdrawing from his personal space and sitting back down. "I think you are a good wolf."

PS. Really enjoying this thread.
