Lost Creek Hollow Time is life itself

Gannet could somewhat relate. He definitely hated pretense and dishonesty, but mainly because he had such a hard time telling when it was happening.

It might not all be fake. She seemed to have a much more cynical view of the pack than Gannet himself, who had truly known what it felt to be an outcast in Moonspear. Maybe that was why what she said resonated. Even if I'm not your family, you're my family. Everyone here is. This was one of the most important things he'd learned - it didn't matter how they saw him, what mattered was how he saw them and himself. I cared in Moonspear and it didn't matter. So now I'm only going to try and do the best I can. He shrugged, and got slightly uncomfortable for some reason. He didn't want her to think he was telling her what she should do, he just felt the need to explain how he felt too.

When were you Queen? That was interesting, Gannet wouldn't have guessed but she also didn't seem the type to share much about herself. He'd never wanted a role like that and couldn't relate, but it sounded like not being a leader might be hard after being one.
