True, it was an opportunity not to miss and he liked their moments together.

"I was beta in my last pack, but the structure was a lot different than it is here, so it's only similiar in some ways. Still.." It was a long way away from where he'd started. He was generally content as it was, kept occupied by duty and not needing to answer to very many -- and with the commander and Wildfire being the others at the top, he found little to complain about because his day to day went smoothly, and he could sleep soundly, satisfied at the end of the day.
