Though he listened raptly, like a good boy, and agreed to all the "terms and conditions" with a stiff nod, Thade would not realize the significance of this event until it was far too late to protest it.

"Ve jus' godda.. jus' godda live vi -- wit' th' res' of th' pack now, okay?" His tail wagged high, childishly hopeful that his very dignified, rousing speech would coax the two from beneath their respective storm clouds.
