The Sunspire The Dawn is breaking

Summer nodded, smiling. He was home, and he was safe. And so was everyone he had left behind. As much as he felt a little trepidatious about Vienna having gone out again on her own, he was at least happy to hear that she was again capable of doing so. When last he'd seen her, she was glued to her den from her cougar-induced injury. Jace's comment about him giving an excellent impression made him dip is muzzle slightly with humility. He had never really learned how to take compliments, but felt ungrateful arguing against them even if he felt it was undeserved, which he often did.

"Ame told me you had a bit of excitement yourself," Summer said, lifting his gaze to the beta's face, "You're recovering well, I take it?" The alpha hadn't gone into any detail about Jace's injuries, though little did Summer realize she had taken this route in order to err on the side of decency. He again thought of the bitch he'd faced off against just after leaving the Plateau, but it was unlikely that he'd be sharing that story with anyone. It had been a number of days since the battle and yet he still felt the burn of shame when he remembered.
