Silvertip Mountain Don't let me get me

Steady seen the flinch, and hesitated in his movements, before continuing towards Chaska, who after a few moments, seemed to realize that Steady meant him no harm. He nudged Chaska back, glad that his friend understood why he had snapped at him, and seemed to forgive him. He nodded in agreement with the other male's conclusion on Krypton's place here. Yes, she was. And will be again once she returns.

The Alpha was doing his best to come to terms with Krypton's departure, and one way he was doing that was by focusing on the fact that she would return. He may not have known when, but he certainly would not entertain the idea that she wouldn't come home. 

His gaze roamed about the clearing before settling on the opening of the den. I wonder if Adeline is getting enough social interaction, he commented, looking to Chaska to see what he thought. Steady did his best to spend as much time with her as possible, but since he didn't really keep track of the comings and goings of the other wolves, mostly because they were all welcome here, he wasn't sure who was visiting and when.
