Silvertip Mountain I wasn't in Vienna

Ezekiel didn't like to see that he'd made her sad. He'd hoped to be able to keep spirits high, even if they were talking about a rough subject. But he listened all the same. He could tell she didn't want to leave Steady. She just wanted to feel like a contributing member of the pack. He knew the feeling, and she was right. Being a scout was always a helpful thing. He just worried that too many times of her leaving and saying good bye to her mate would end up with a goodbye for good. He trusted that wouldn't happen, he knew they loved each other, but still.

Of course it counts for something. That's amazing. You try your best all the time Niita. Nobody thinks that you don't. If being a scout is what you want to do, then go for it. Just know that even if you aren't always contributing, no one thinks that you are useless. Hell I spend tons of days doing nothing, but I'm still gamma. He smiled, hoping to cheer her up again. And what he said was true. Everyone in the pack loved Niita. She was friendly and outgoing, and easy to get along with. She didn't have to be a scout to keep her place in the pack, but if she wanted to explore it wasn't his place to discourage her.
