Electric is the love

Everyone seemed to be picking up on how tired FitzDutiful was and, in truth, FitzDutiful wasn't liking it. It was irritating that his pack members seemed to think he couldn't handle the work (or at least, he assumed that was what they were thinking). He was enjoying himself, being busy, and felt as though he was managing everything pretty well. "I've always time," he said, smiling as he did do, warmth in his words.

"Is there something particular you need, or are you just wanting to talk?" He didn't mind which it was, though of late it appeared that talking to the alpha went hand in hand with needing something from the alpha. He didn't recall whether it had been this way with Peregrine. Had he always spoken to Perry just because he needed something? He didn't think so, but maybe Perry had a different opinion. He made a mental note to ask his previous alpha - if he ever saw him again.
