Whitefish River Just thinking outloud

@Ira

The Woodward was always near his pups in case they needed him because he would put everything else away just to be with them because his new family was all that he had and wanted. But he knew he had to break away from them a few times just to get moments to himself, but even that felt like a crime, was he being selfish? This question would stick around for a bit as he wandered through the fields and near the streams with the running water as background noise to his conflicting thoughts.

There were other factors as well besides his family, the former Count because what Howl and Emrik found was clear evidence of something more to his disappearance. Should he tell Ira? The poor woman already had to a family to take care of on her own but it was a good thing that she had Hiero to help. Hiero was a good wolf, a good friend so she was in good hands with him. But still, this information is important to her since she is the leader, but maybe she could use the extra extra help? Maybe he should ask for a promotion? No, it wasn't his place, he was overthinking it just like he always did because he realized that he was now paws deep into the stream that he was strolling past.

Connor chuckled at himself a bit and backed out of the stream and sat at the bank with his tail lazily set in the running water.
