Blacktail Deer Plateau deep breaths

Amekaze's comfort was not something he expected and he was opposed to the act of begging for her pity...her lack of apology for wounding him was disregarded without fuss. "Everyone's too busy trying to be bad asses," he commented with a superfluous toss of his muzzle. "No time for stories or building companionship between each other. They're all huffing and puffing and trying to look the most likely to blow your house down." Secretly he wondered if she would understand the reference. Didn't everyone's Mommies tell them bedtime stories?

"Do be," he encouraged at the lone femme's sly choice of words. He was not prompted to fish for her vote; he regarded her for a moment before shrugging his shoulders. "I will be honest with this pack's pros and cons. We are a strong bunch filled with several capable hunters and guardians...the boundaries are well maintained and the caches are being kept full. There is no fighting, at least not openly, among the ranks so everyone seems content in their place and it's been peaceful."

Now for the hard part. "But this pack has a 'all for one but none for all' mindset. I am nearly a stranger to them and I've been here for months. If I left...I can't help but wonder if they'd notice I was gone. I'm hoping that it will get better with time."

Golden orbs locked onto her and he mustered a grave smile. "I wouldn't blow your house down though," he offered as if his sole companionship could help alleviate the stress of a disharmonized pack.
