Blacktail Deer Plateau o father (in law) where art thou

Grayday studied the male with growing alarm, being very familiar with the sort of anger that Aditya was talking about. He knew firsthand how damaging the affects of such anger could be and did not want that for his son in law - or his daughter, for that matter.

"Let it go," he said gruffly, turning his head away. Perhaps this was a mistake; it left his blind eye toward the other male, a painful reminder of what had come to pass. "Adi - I hope you will respect me in this. My father told me something long ago, and if I'd heeded him, I'd have saved myself a lot of trouble and heartache. I wasn't always the wolf you see before you, now."

He closed his eye, a gesture that Aditya surely missed, and summoned the words that his father had once spoken. "Don't raise your voice in anger. There may come a time when you'll need to shout, and that's fine. But don't let it be just to hurt someone else, or because you can't control your temper."

He looked back at the other man, expression serious and intent. "We all do harm. We are not infailible, and we have duties to those around us. It's inevitable that lives will be lost, and injuries sustained. But when we do the things we do, let it only be because we must, and not out of revenge or blood lust. If we see her again, we'll kill her. We might even seek her out. But when you or I strike the fatal blow, I hope it's not hate in our hearts. I hope it's love - for the ones that we're saving."
