Silvertip Mountain And You Let Her Go

He was a little glad that she had decided to stay. He would have worried if she went back to the den still feeling like things were her fault. He wasn't sure what to say to convince her that it wasn't, and that made him feel bad. He shifted his body to lay on his stomach as they settled into silence. He wondered what she was thinking, but he didn't intrude. She seemed able to ask questions when she needed answers, and he didn't usually have to pry if she acted like she wanted to say something.

After minutes of quietness, Steady's ears perked and his gaze turned to Odette when she asked what he father was like. FitzDutiful was... Well, he was great, to put it simply. As a brother, as a friend, as a leader... He took care of the wolves around him. It was difficult to talk about his late brother, but not so much he wouldn't do it. Odette deserved to know about Fitz. If I'm half as good of a leader as he was, I'll call it a success. Steady knew he had big paws to fill, and it was hard not having his brother to guide him in this. He was really excited when Zaria said she was pregnant. I think he loved you even before that, he said softly.
