Silvertip Mountain Don't sink

No worries at all! My life has been a bit hectic, too! <3

Steady chuckled. Well all know you need more of that, he said with a grin. In all honesty, Steady wasn't worried about Ezekiel and how he had come off a bit... stoic when he first arrived. Knowing the male better these days, he was confident that Ezekiel simply took time to trust, and Steady admired that. Sometimes being too trusting himself, it was an asset to have someone on his side to bring him back to reality.

He nodded as his friend spoke, realizing he hadn't know Ezekiel had been a Beta before. What was your other pack like? he asked, wondering. His expression softened when Ezekiel mentioned how he felt. It was bittersweet for Steady, who had lost his own brother earlier this year. He wasn't sure if he would be dishonoring FitzDutiful by giving Ezekiel that title. You know I think of you as family, too, he said with a smile, which was true. But, he wasn't ready to call him brother. He would need to work out his feelings about it first, to make sure the guilt was gone first.
