Panther Park Long and hard

Another wolf would feel hurt by such revelation, but Damien was glad that Asterr had no intentions of going near Blackfeather Woods again. It was safer for her if she stayed away. There was real guilt pressing in the shadow prince's chest for not having issued a warning before, but they had met so briefly that first time, and Damien's mind had been such a mess at the time that he didn't relize the danger he'd put Asterr in by inviting her to visit him. "That is probably for the best," he tried to comfort her, and then looked away into the distance, feeling uneasy. But once again her voice drew his eyes back to her, this time in shock. He wanted to say 'stay'; he had come all this way to see her, and he enjoyed her company the way he didn't anyone else, but his mouth said "If you must..." coldly instead as his eyes looked away again, unsure of what should come after that. But his ears revealed how he felt about her leaving, as they helplessly fell down a little closer to the back of his head.
