Moonspear i read the news today, oh boy

Naively, Rannoch felt a rush of relief at Terance's initial reply. "I'm glad she's out and about," Rannoch remarked. He had seen a different side of the Beta during their last encounter and hoped she was faring well with the misfortune that had entered her life recently. Curiously, he asked, "Did she seem okay?" 

At Terance's question, Rannoch felt his heart drop suddenly, and his smile grew weary. He was conflicted, to say the least; the two yearlings had formed quite the bond over the months but, he wasn't the most confident when it came to disclosing his more negative attributes. Opting to take a  genuine approach to his internal conflict, Rannoch offered, "A lot has happened recently, and I took some time to think it over," as he looked at Terance. Though it wasn't inclusive of the entire truth, Rannoch hoped it was enough to keep any further questions at bay.
