Swiftcurrent Creek And i just want to be alone

She wasn't wrong. He bottled feelings up, but then he tried to let them go. It was the point of his meditation. He thought it through before he answered.

 Chewed on the idea or words until he was certain what he wantedcto say. It was why he was reluctant to speak to wren. He knew he hadn't managed to let the anger go and the hurt and he'd say something he'd regret.

He shook his head. I will apologize everyone deserves an apology if you did them wrong if it is feasible to apologize. Some wolves you know hold on and you cant apologize for fear your nose getting bitten off or some shit. But i will when i am able to with pure intent.

He chuckled. You got a big heart you know that, Arlette.

He shifted. I do it because if I don't it may not get done. And i won't let you or the babies or anyone else starve for lack of attention and care. Nor will i let dangers into our home if I can manage it. I dislike drama. Yes i am overworked and vastly underpaid, just sayin.

The last part said in jest. Maybe I am, but i couldn't tell ya what i am hiding or avoiding other than wren.

He felt safe telling her the name of who he had issue with. That Arlette wouldn't leak what he said in confidence. She didn't seem the type.

A soft press to her shoulder as he shifted to continue the border patrol. You coming, you have too want me to keep pouring cheese all over our conversation.
