Lake Rodney what would you say if i came home now

He hadn't meant to start crying. The tears weren't all bad, either; they were a weird mix of the frustration that he didn't feel seen or heard or considered at the Caldera. On the other side of the mix was happiness at seeing her again and getting to touch her, smell her, know that she was there and that his foolishness hadn't lost her. Somehow being with Maia made him feel better, calmer, about all those things. It made him want to just grab her and run away forever from all of these other wolves, because she was the only one who truly cared about him, too.

Her words were lost in the void as he just pressed himself against her, and he whispered softly into her fur, I love you, Maia. I love you so much. Words couldn't describe what he was feeling in that moment. He wanted this to last forever, and he wanted to start doing more things that would make it so.
