Lost Creek Hollow What to do about October

his jaw clenched at the mention of wraen, but he was surprised to hear aerasha mention her, and it showed in the prick of his ears. "yeah-- wraen is doing well," he told her gently, not mentioning that the she-wolf was his sister, "she'll be taking her leave from sunspire. treason will be joining me in the beta rank." ah, why was he telling this wolf anything-- because they were allies? did it matter? well, maybe it would to valette. "you can pass that information along to valette, if you'd like." fine fix, he supposed. 

and then... wait, what? terance was taken aback by the comment. he'd never heard someone so casually refer to another wolf like that-- was she trying to get him to admit he liked valette, or something? why did that comment sound so childish. he cleared his throat. "valette is kind, and a good leader," he returned gently, altogether avoiding the comment at hand. he gave treason a side eyed glance, wondering if she was thinking the same thing as him.
