Snowforest Taiga the bottom's all i've found

Somehow it's a little satisfying when Kavik reacts badly — but his words sting enough to erase that satisfaction immediately. I'm not a child anymore, He bites back, ears pinning. I grew up, and I can make my own decisions now. But I guess you missed that, didn't you? And that's your fault, his tone implies. Zephyr was a child once, incapable of taking care of himself and making his own decisions — but Kavik hadn't cared enough to try harder, to fulfill his responsibilities as a parent no matter how hard it was. The silver boy had learned his life lessons alone, and he refuses to take any from the father who hadn't been there to give them to him. Nevermind that it was his own fault.
