Otatso Wetlands there's somethings we need to talk about

Aoife's proposition got Gabe excited, though he was paused for a moment by a thought. A small group could easily turn into a pack, and every time he'd been in a pack something bad had happened. Part of his mind tried to justify that it was just gonna be Ynes, Aoife and some random pups, and he could trust them. But the other part of his brain said that he'd thought something similar about Kalika, and that'd gotten him with a bloodied face. He had no possible way of really knowing whether or not he could trust any of these women, so why should he spend his life traveling with them?

But he realized something else then too. He couldn't spend his whole life alone. If he kept going by this logic, he would be a lonesome bore his entire life, traveling without a friend or a family. He was a risk taker, and this was just another risk he'd have to take. All of this thought process happened rather quickly in real time, and he replied, Yeah, I like the sound of that! But I don't want to speak for Ynes. He said, turning his head to look at the other woman.
