Stone Circle Ignorance is always afraid of change

The object of his thoughts was suddenly there and Steady turned, ears perked as his gaze fell upon the squirrel. Instantly, he thought it might be for himself, or the pups. Who else would it be for? Maybe Chaska had brought it as a peace offering, a way of letting the past go, or maybe an apology. Steady felt he certainly deserved one. 

With those thoughts in mind, his own mood lifted. Hey, Chaska, I'm doing alright. What's that you got there? Well, it was obviously a squirrel. But, Steady was eager to let this rift go, and therefore tried to get Chaska to go ahead and say it was for him. That way, they could move on and things would be back to normal.
