He didn't say anything and she suddenly felt like she wasn't being very clear somehow. She'd expected some sort of response. A brief sort of squinty expression crossed her face as she thought, then ended up clarifying, I'm just trying to figure out what you want. A sort of mundane title to just say that we are raising a litter together? Or a more intimate one, long term? Business or pleasure? I'm fine with the first, without question. The latter, I've already said my piece. It required a bit more patience. And double that after the Pike thread.

She nodded and took a moment to ponder. If you want to stand beside me, that's not just my trust you need to earn, but that of the pack as well. I will need another leader, that much will likely be clear. Prove yourself as my second. That was the best she would offer for now. As long as your wandering doesn't end up hurting the pack, I don't have a problem with it. But that was a limiter, wasn't it? There were many reasons why him being away might be negative. Did he have a solution for that? Did he know his limits? Probably. But then again, wouldn't taking a leadership role also require him to be back at the packlands more?
