"Oh, of course, my mistake," was Elwood's quick, playful response to Finley's correction. He then hummed thoughtfully as Finley wondered about Niamh's future in leadership. It made sense for her to step up alongside her mate, but Elwood honestly didn't know her well enough to be able to make a judgment call as to whether she would want to or not. She could be completely content to raise her children and let Colt remain in charge of the pack, or the opposite might be true.

In the end, he shrugged. "Maybe," he replied, having kind of forgotten about Niamh's flightiness in his considerations. He stretched, reaching his forelegs further out in front of him and spreading his toes. This was accompanied by a yawn, then he said, "I'm glad it's not us, though. I kind of like retirement."
