Moonspear When I see little lights in the shadows

I am? he questioned, lips tugging into a small smile at the reassurance even as doubt clouded his pale eyes. I still haven’t really spent any time with Maggak. Sialuk asked me to get to know her kids, Talis explained. And I hardly know the others close to her. I did meet her, er… Argent.

His voice trailed off awkwardly at that. The coyote still felt a little strange knowing he’d bedded a taken woman. Obviously Sialuk had welcomed his advances but what did her lovers really think about that? About him? Despite Alaric’s words, he didn’t feel particularly established in Moonspear.

But, uh, thanks for saying that, he added with a twitch of his reddish tail. I’ve always struggled with finding my place and feeling like I belong anywhere. And I do feel like I’m much more accepted here than anywhere else I’ve tried, he murmured, thinking of The Tribe and even Muat-riya.
