Chaska, in addition to being adept at telling stories, was also one Steady knew had a listening ear, as well. He was a good friend, and he was glad that he had come back after his travels, and decided to move with the family. Steady sighed a bit, knowing he wasn't hiding his troubles very well.

He wanted them to be safe. And here.
