Otter Creek of an austere ebon tide

Same here! XD It's true, I have been a bit of a ninja poster. LIGHTNING FAST REFLEXES. *hi-ya* Also, some unexpected Rayder angst incoming? He's so wishy-washy when it comes to feelings, pshh.

It was unexpected, how wise this lone wolf seemed to be despite Rayder's previous judgement of him. He was taken aback at how harshly the words hit him, internally. He pondered over this. Was it really worth it to just try without knowing what the future would hold? Rayder liked being reassured that he could always win, and the ego he had built up made that kind of opportunity pop up more than it would've if he had been of a shyer personality.

He didn't know what to make of 'answering the call', either. He'd never heard a call for him in his entire life. No one ever wanted him there, but he forced himself into their lives anyway. That's what it had always seemed like to him. "Some of us get more guidance, though." The male spoke, sounding like he was restraining some sort of envy from his tone. "There's kids that get born into a good pack, get raised by good parents that support their every move." So envious, yes, that's what he was of those kids.
