Silvertip Mountain Light of a clear blue morning

Day's smile grew a bit strained when she seemed to immediately sense that something was up. She was getting too perceptive, now - hardly the cute little pip she'd been when they met. But she was still smaller than Grayday, and still inspired those feelings he'd decided to label as 'fatherly'.

Well. First things first. "I went to visit Eden's old pack to ask what kind of wolf she was," he told her, glad that he had a truth that he could tell her instead of lying about the whole thing. It still made him uncomfortable, but she didn't need to hear the whole story, did she? Then again - wasn't it common knowledge now that they'd made the Fen their enemies? Would she know why? "Steady could tell you more about it than me," he said eventually, deciding that he'd better not get into it with her. "Nothing's wrong but..." He wondered if he could tell her about Amber. Not the whole story, but that he'd met her, that she was beautiful... But he'd probably better not. "Well, it was a long trip. A good one, but long."

He made an effort to look down at her, now, and an easy smile crossed his face when none of the hatred that'd been in Odette's eyes were present in hers. She was still the same Addie, and seeing her really made him feel like he'd finally come home.

"What about you, greeneyes? Get up to any trouble while I was away?" His eyes swept over her and noted that her fox wound was healing nicely. "How's that shoulder? Think a trip to the glacier would be too much?" Maybe something cold to rest it against would do her good.
