His words worry her. Why had his family lived like that? Why couldn’t they keep everyone? Why wouldn’t his parents protect the small? The supposedly weak? How could they not have had enough resources? Her ears continue to fall as she realizes that she would have been culled too. To a lot of wolves, she was a runt. Tiny, weak, and useless.
Delphi waits for a few moments after his last statement. Her lips are pulling up in a sneer as her heart continues to hurt. Why would he want to do that to her? “It doesn’t work like that here,” she whispers, opening her eyes to look at his paws. They were much larger than hers. “You won’t be killed for being weak. Everyone has a place. You have a place, I’ll make sure of it,” Delphi grits her teeth together as she finally turns her chin to glance at him over her shoulder. “I mean… if you want to stay,” she whispers, still continuing to look at him as she waits for an answer and her eyes begin to glisten with possible tears.

Delphi felt emotions so easily, he could see as she glanced back at him. The glint of tears in her eyes. A part of him wanted to last out at the sight of them. To tell her to toughen up, and stop being such a baby. He shoved the desire down, and met her eyes. He'd shown a lot of weakness to her in turn. It made it harder to punish her own shortcomings. "I've never met anyone I've wanted to care about before." He admitted, a hint of gruffness returning to his voice. He hoped Delphi never shared the things he told her. This pack was vastly different from his home. He was worried about how they would view him if they knew the whole of it.
"Anyone can be killed for being weak. Maybe not by the wolves of this pack, but by predators or its enemies." He pointed out. Surely she knew the danger of that, her tail was a constant reminder. "But I want to stay. I want… whatever this is." He said, and tapped his chin to her shoulder. Then, in a bout of insanity, he leaned over and pressed his muzzle to her cheek for a count of 2 seconds, before returning his head to her shoulder.

She may be reckless, a loose cannon, and slightly hot headed, but she wasn’t stupid. Even blind with rage, she knew she could still be killed. One kick or bite to her head, she’d be a goner. Unlike him, Delphi was the runt. Her life was always in danger the moment she walked outside.
As much as she wanted to snip back at him for that comment, she is silenced by his last comment. Still meeting his gaze, a small smile breaks over lips. Taken by surprise with his comment, he surprises her once more when he presses his muzzle against her cheek. Her mouth opens slightly as her breath is taken away and her heart rate elevates. When he pulls away and places his head back on her back, her once maybe tears are forgotten and her smile is growing.
“Strai,” her voice is a whisper as her tail wags a few times. “Whatever this is isn’t going anywhere,” Delphi whispers as she twists herself enough so that she can reach up to place her own muzzle against his cheek for a quick peck. Feel her cheeks light with fire, she quickly turns back around and places her chin back on his paws. Silently, she worries what Vidarr will think. He is the only one who really knows Strai. Closing her eyes, Delphi relishes the moment for now. She can deal with the consequences later.

He let out a soft, content sigh. Letting himself embrace this weakness he had tried so hard to rid himself of. It felt good to indulge, even if he felt guilty as well. He didn't know if he loved or hated his parents. They had been a constant in his life. He had thought the lessons they taught him to be vital and sacred. Now he was figuring out the world didn't have to be the way they had painted. Except they were dead, and he was confused if he should be honouring their memory or living his life for himself.
When she returned his affection, he flushed a little himself. She closed her eyes, and he let his own slide closed. Of course, a grin that spelled trouble darted across his muzzle a moment longer. "Can I move into your hidey hole? I had my outcropping" he said, pushing his luck and amused at how Delphi might respond.
