Stone Circle like a rollercoaster

Nikai's concern about Birk's ability to adapt to the new pack was adorable, because he himself had no difficulties at all. He made an effort to know people, who were either important or who themselves stepped up to have a conversation, and wasted no energy on those people, who did not care. Quite simple and easy that was, but he did not want to destroy the image the young wolf had of him. Let him think that Birk was a better person than he actually considered himself being.

"I came a long way away, but I have been in these areas on and off for a year now," he did not want to delve in all of the details of him coming to Easthollow. Unless Nikai pressed further. "What about you - a relative to the leading family?" he asked, though it was quite clear from looks and mannerisms alone that it was not so.
