Elwood smiled. "He is a good kid," he agreed quietly. It sounded like Shrike had all the right ideas -- everyone knew that the eldest Blackthorn child could be a little skittish, so it would likely take some time for him to warm up to someone he didn't know.

He's always been self-doubting," he confided in the next breath with a shrug of his shoulders. Then, realizing that he was likely keeping Shrike from a much-needed nap with his rambling, he ducked his head slightly and said, "I should let you rest." He stood, preparing himself to depart, feeling deeply appreciative of his packmate.
