Swiftcurrent Creek Are we cool?

sorry for the wait on this !! fred motivation escapes me haha

she was not mad, and at that response frederick let out a sigh that he wasn't completely aware that he had been holding on to. arlette was kind in her answering, letting him now that milan was welcome at any time, and to that, he gave a nod of his head. there was something else, though: something festering, a thought in which he had yet to tell.

yes, of course, he answered, keeping a mental note of telling milan that arlette seems to have no quarrels with her presence within the creek. actually ... there is something that i must tell you, and he took a quick breath. he was sure that the wolves of the creek would not try to tether nor bind him to these lands, but he felt that transparency was rather important. honesty, of sorts. and he had yet to be called for the patrol that akavir had arranged ... was it still ongoing? uncertain, now, he spoke:

milan wishes for me to join her, at the valley, frederick said, carefully scanning arlette's expression. i can't ... i don't like to keep her waiting. though winter is thickening, i can't help but think to spring, and i like to hope that together, milan and i may be able to have children someday. as much as i have appreciated your welcoming, i believe it might be best for me to go to her, for milan seemed less than excited at the prospect of coming to the valley after the 'incident', and so frederick only wished for her comfort. he took a breath, and said: she speaks of sharing a den, how am i to say no? a sheepish grin adorning his features, now.

soon, he would return to @Milan, and they would be undivided.
