Lost Creek Hollow i'm not, what you think you can see

"hmm," hummed terance in response to her comment. fine. alpha. leader. respect. terance wouldn't demand it from treason. he just couldn't, not from her, not after this.

he took a breath, releasing it in a soft sigh. "as you'd imagine," he replied to her, gaze unwavering from the creek. it was not necessarily interesting, no, but it was distracting. it was something else to focus on. his gaze, eventually, turned back towards his beta, his ears pressing forwards. "i am fine. i'm adjusting," he added, something like a real answer.
