Ouroboros Spine you were the only one

My inner kid has decided these two should be Holmes and Watson. Sidewinder can be Holmes and Mordecai can be Watson. Or something. IDEK, I HAD SOME SUGAR AND STUFF FOR LUNCH INSTEAD OF ACTUAL FOOD.

It wasn't an easy out that Mordecai sought, but it was one that he took a hold of anyway. The knowledge that his brother's mate would be safe was a tempting one, but not really the justice that he wanted. In a way, he would have rather brought her and her pack his head, as a means to curry favor with them should things have gone horrifically south in the Spine. For as upstanding as Mordecai could have been, he was not without his scrupules either. Even so, he wouldn't have known where to begin, let alone the fact that all he had was a description to go on.

“I will think about it,” he said agreeably to the option he had been presented. Though truthfully, Mordecai did not see what would stop Sidewinder from pursuing his own interests once they had parted. He already had thus so far from what he understood, what information he had gathered, and that alone was enough to plant the seed in his head to keep a focused eye on the alabaster creature. Chances were anyway, Sidewinder was right; his brother probably hadn't gone very far at all with winter coming. Perhaps that had changed his tune altogether.
