Blacktail Deer Plateau I'm just making sure

Gunnar offered a smile in return. Though he didn't know the reason for her smile, he repeated it all the same. He remembered the daily lessons as he was growing. He hadn't had many since then, but he remembered them well. And he held them close to his own vest, to share with others and to keep himself on the straight and narrow.

Gunnar stared at her for a moment and then as straightforward as he always was. He's my biological dad. Ragnar's my father, he's my father in every way that counts and he knows that. The only thing that ties me to Crete and to Peregrine is blood and Peregrine made sure to point that out. I mean it doesn't really matter that he told me that, I knew it anyway. I was just curious of him, i wanted to know why he'd leave my mom like he did. She's a okay wolf, I just don't understand that completely. He wasn't meaning to be cruel to his mother, he was merely saying why he had sought out Peregrine. He hadn't wanted to be brought into his family, he just was curious as to why Crete left them. It didn't really matter anymore, he was pretty much over it. Granted yea it helped to pave the future for his ways and his morals, but other than that it wasn't much different.
