Silver Creek let's kill someone

o . m. gee.

the stranger removed himself from where he sheltered-- cowered. of course, grayson could not fault him for staying safe during the storm, not everyone was as bold and heroic as him-- to leave safety to gather intel on the area? grayson was a godsend. but what kind of man did not surround him with others so that he could be protected? grayson never found himself far from @Harrison or @Dawson -- who's scents were likely strong on his coat. it was possible they'd even loomed behind him. despite the fact that he was alone now, grayson knew that at any sign of danger, or if he had even an inkling of concern, he could call for his friends and family and they would be right there at his side.

what did this man have? this weak man. grayson had trouble even thinking him a man-- to be completely alone in the midst of the start of the cold season was among the stupidest things he could think to do. he expected it from a woman, but not another male. it was a death sentence. 

"you are alone," grayson commented idly, since the stranger did not acknowledge him, "you will die in the winter."
