Otter Creek of an austere ebon tide

D: I have heard this tale many a times...I am not looking forward to when this happens to me >>. Also, does this mean Mordecai & Rayder's friendship is basically going to be like this? XD

Rayder took a breath, then looked away from the loner, shaking his head as he focused on nothing in particular. "There's only certain things we can change about ourselves." He said, believing this to be true from how much he'd always tried to change himself. He'd always tried to be invincible, and not care what others had to say about him. Yet still, sometimes the lack of affection he gained stung him, despite how much he tried to resist it.

"You can gain new strengths, but you can never get rid of a weakness." That is why so many failed in his eyes. Peregrine would likely never change in his ways, he though, would always be blind to the advantages he would get from interacting with other packs. Amelie, though playful and respectful, would never be able to put aside her kindness and get her paws dirty with blood.

The only time anyone's flaws ever changed, for better or worse, was when they got completely broken in two. And wasn't that a weakness within itself, since it was likely caused by another that they had let into their heart? It wasn't worth counting, in his opinion.
