Swiftcurrent Creek A sons grief

Etienne had not been blind to Odessia's distress. She was not comfortable here, and could he blame her. And he had probably ruin3d any chance of reconcilatiation with his bared teeth.

They had not found his nephew and now all his family was gone. There were none left, but scattered cousins.

A snap of teeth clicking together in irritation. nonm fou.. Do not put words in my mout' i said not'ing of dey kind.

Etienne took a shaky breath. I 'ave forgiven you. But. he held up a paw. If you want my friendship. You best be around.

And as always thr good hearted sea born forgave another for hurting him. He carried a lifetimes worth and more of broken hearts and grief.
