Silvertip Mountain My Mind Is My Last Sanctuary

Chaska grinned, and Steady felt triumphant that he could get his friends' mind off of darker things. Steady knew gossiping was wrong, and had never really gotten into it before, but it was the only thing he could think of. He nodded, confirming what he had said. I think he's changed a little since he's joined. He's not so rough around the edges, he commented on Ezekiel. Anita is nice, though I've had to demote her for a short time for her insubordination towards Ezekiel, he confessed. It wasn't one of things Steady liked about his new leadership role, but he felt it had to be done. She had taken a liking to teasing him, and not being respectful to his rank. I wonder if she was doing it because she liked him and didn't know how to show it. It was the only thing that made sense to him, since she wasn't like that with anyone else.
