Apparently Mali was bad at explaining the position they were actually in here, but considering he'd probably done the wolf equivalent of being kept out of school after elementary, that was probably part of it too.  No, no you don't get it.  After they moved the pack and it was just theirs everyone just ignored us.  We have to figure out everything on our own now since then.  I'm not good enough to hunt for both of us -- some monster shows up we're just gonna get eaten. And our own pack doesn't want us, doesn't like us, so why would anyone else?  Okay, his sister might have a different perspective, but he was definitely just left alone because of his attitude and that had only made things worse in some kind of weird feedback loop.  So in the end he hated most of them, but he liked being alive.  He'd live on their pity until he could do otherwise or was forced to before he was ready.

And I dunno why he won't do anything. And that was a sour point.  Delight had become one of them.  Once those stupid women showed up everything started going bad and now it's just worse and worse and worse and now he's a zombie too or something.  It was said with almost a snarl.  But he wasn't gonna leave the damn bush.
