Big Salmon Lake Business in the Front

She was funny, and Marcus appreciated it greatly. You can tell a lot about a person off the bat with a good sense of humor, good wit. A wolf that could make him smile went far in his book. 

The conversation between them seemed to come relatively easy, and just like he appreciated the company he was about to appreciate the hell out of this meal. So the man rested on his belly with the fish between paws as he started to munch and listen to Lele's story. While it was brief, he felt like he could empathize with her.

Her mention of death made his next bite of food go down like a rock. He hated the thought the woman leaving this Earth without feeling the love of a soulmate... if there really were such a thing. It wasn't hard to shake the intrusive thought away though, she was lovely and kind. He imagined it wouldn't be too hard now that she was no longer a loner and among other wolves.

"I admire that. Not feeling the need to impress others, that is. I've been working on getting to that point in life myself. And I believe you will find that wolf. You seem like a catch to me, and I would know!" Marcus nosed his fish towards her and grinned at his own joke. 

The tipping his nose to the sky, he carefully pondered what his next words should be. "I'd like to be with my children again. They are with their mother... things didn't work out in the end." He refused to show any emotion, but instead kept his gaze to the heavens in thought. "Other than that, I'm not sure."

"I'm glad we met. Needed to get my mind off things, you know."
