Silvertip Mountain The end of the line

Did Anita just get family-zoned? XD

He listened quietly as Ezekiel explained his feelings on the situation, saying that Anita, with all her joking and nagging, kind of reminded Ezekiel of his sister, who he seemed to miss. Steady nodded, supposed he understood. He just wasn't sure how much he liked it. I get it, he admitted. If it remains at a level you can accept, then I'll let it go, he concluded on the matter. However, if it gets out of line, my definition of out of line, I'll put a stop to it. There was only so much Steady would put up with beyond a wanna-be sibling rivalry. 

Steady's thoughts moved on to how much Ezekiel missed his home. Do you ever think of visiting your family? he asked, wondering if his Gamma was thinking of leaving. Steady could understand the need to visit, but he hoped Ezekiel felt enough of a loyalty, of being part of a family here to come back.
