Redsand Canyon I don't know the half of it anymore

She just wants him to love himself -cries more-

Despite her repeating herself on this topic, she recognized that it would simply take time for him to believe it. She would not hesitate to be there in order to remind him that he was worth more than what other wolves made him to be in his own mind. She saw that, and she was certain Germanicus and Ruenna saw it as well. The Imperator could have never recruited him, or driven him out after his misstep with a woman, but he did neither. Instead, he remained here to continue training. That had to count for something on the man’s views of Kallik, right?
 
Ultimately, his own self-worth was for him to decide. It was her job to remind him of the worth that others placed on him, and remind him that it was higher than he gave himself credit for. He closed his eyes and his shoulders dropped and she simply watched as he took it all in and recovered from the way the emotions had consumed. Sometimes, emotions were more taxing than any amount of physical labor could be. She shook her head at his apology. “It’s no problem. I am glad you feel comfortable coming to me with this.” Truly, she was touched that his trust in her was so high. “It’s not good to hold it in… if you do, it’ll affect your job, and it’ll consume your thoughts until you don’t know which way is up anymore.” She had personal experience with it from after her mother died, though perhaps she should take her own advice sometime and open up to another about this.
 
Aquene smiled softly at his words, offering him another soft nuzzle meant to comfort. “This den, these walls, and my ears are a safe space, Kallik. I’m here whenever you need to vent, and to remind you that you are more than what others have made you believe. I see it, and eventually I promise you’ll see it too. It’s not something that can be fixed overnight… it can be a bit of a journey.”
