it's funny how any wolf who didn't want to appear weak in moments of weakness... probably couldn't anyway. pike could never look at his mom and think she was weak -- not even a little bit. but as she walked her head fell to look at the ground, and pike heard no words come from her maw this time. no changing the subject, still no asking questions. to someone as young as pike, the death was death either way, and while terance might've been suffering, the boy spent all of terance's last moments with him -- and even though the sadness hurt, it was not as abrupt as death in battle. pike had some peace about the whole thing. 

he let the silence fill the space between them, as he felt that arbiter did not feel like talking. but pike was known for that big mouth of his, so it didn't really last forever. he... he wanted me to tell you he loved you, he added in a quiet voice. which felt rightly normal to pike, who assumed the words were always there anyway -- behind closed doors, maybe.

the rest of terance's words? they would lay to rest with the man who said them -- pike swore the rest to secrecy. no one else needed to know.
