ban the watchers in that hour

Summer felt a clench in his chest when Ame told the other wolf that they'd send Ty home if she came back. Though he knew that would be for the best, he selfishly began to imagine how it would be if she decided instead to stay. Before he got too far along that daydream, Lasher--as it seemed he was called--was speaking in response.

Summer dipped his muzzle in silent reply to Lasher's request to be permitted to return again in search of her. He held his tongue in respect to Amekaze, to whom belonged the final decision on what would be allowed. She seemed to desire to give this wolf an amiable impression, so he assumed that she too would be fine with a return visit. But still, it was not his place to accept or decline, so he remained quiet and steadfast at her side.
