Whitefish River The Switch Up

Maybe she had misjudged the male. He seemed comforted by her words but embarrassed all the same. It didn't really surprise her that finding a pack might be hard with his condition, she herself had been hesitant, but Hiero had learned fast enough. Maybe she had given him a chance that others were quick to discard for someone better. He made it sound as if he had stayed long enough in other packs though, surely they would have seen his contributions?

Perhaps it was her own bias that caused her to turn a blind eye. A disability was a disability, but there are ways to overcome them. Someone can still be strong, even Evergreen had lost half his sight and learned to be a capable warrior. It was obvious enough to the Count that Hieronymous had a hard battle for most of his life, but he found a way to survive. That was enough for her. You better not be planning on leaving. The words might have seemed harsh, but her gaze said it all. It was her attempt at joking back.

Frankly, she was tired of losing numbers, it would be a shame if the painted male truly was debating it. I'm sure you'll do fine. You've already been a great help...do you like kids? He always had a bit of jokester in him, it would be a surprise if the knight didn't. Surely he'd get along well with young ones.
