Stavanger Bay To err is human; to forgive, divine.

Would love another thread between these two!! Do you have time for one with Julooke, too? I could start them ^_^

Beric did want to shake that negativity out of her. He wished he could force her to see how much this world had to offer in goodness, rather than all the bad that was happening. But, he couldn't do that. She had to figure it out for herself. He would help, though, if she gave him the chance.

Her response left him wondering on just which she would like- to figure out if this was the pack for her, or to meet Julooke. He didn't ask, though, hoping for both. He was selfish enough to want her to stay, and he felt Julooke would be the perfect friend for Claire. If she had a friend, maybe that would make her want to stay. Julooke had a way of looking at the bright side of things, and Beric thought she might be able to rub some of that off onto Claire.

The conversation seemed to have come to an end. He couldn't say any more to convince her of the wonderfulness of life, and he didn't want to beat a dead horse. He stood. I'll leave you to your day, Claire, he said softly. He almost moved to try and nudge her in a friendly gesture, but stopped himself. They weren't that familiar yet, and he didn't want to pressure her into taking his friendship. Please let me know if you need anything, he said, before gesturing his muzzled to the food, Don't forget to eat that. He smiled softly, hoping she would take his offering after he left. He turned to leave, but he wouldn't go very far today, preferring to find a spot to sit close by the den.
