Oh, so she settled in right next to Yfir? His tail wagged a bit, a smile spreading wider on his lips. "Oh, Yfir is wonderful! How is Katja doing?" he asked, obviously excited by the mention of the other northern pack. It wasn't like he was close Katja, but he enjoyed seeing her and the conversations that they had. Maybe next time he should go up there to see how she was doing, with the sickness lingering they might need some more herbs. Shaking his head, he put those thoughts behind him and focused on the woman in front of him. She talked about wanting to start younger, and he nodded his head slowly. He didn't want to bring her up, but his ears flickered slightly. "Did you know that Odette had a pack up north for a little bit? That was the last time I heard anything from her, though..." he broke off, looking away from Avalon for a moment. He shouldn't have said anything, the loss of a sibling wasn't easy. He hadn't seen Motif or Chord for quite some time now, so the pain was a bit fresh for him. Clearing his throat, he looked back and met her similar coloured eyes. He offered her a sheepish grin, shrugging his shoulders a bit. He hid the pain from his face, but it showed a bit in his eyes. When she mentioned that she was envious of him, Bass couldn't help but snort. "I had no idea what I was doing back then. But to be honest, I almost wish that I had waited. My whole life has been spent as the alpha of Abaven. I never got to live like a lot of wolves, or run free. I hear about all of these amazing adventures from my members, and I am jealous. I wouldn't give up Abaven for anything, but I often wonder what my life would have been like if I didn't start it when I was only two," he blinked slowly after the words had come tumbling out, he had never realized that about himself. "Huh, that's the first time I've ever said that. Well, I guess we are both learning new things about me," Bass said with a laugh. When she started to talk about her pack, he listened intently, his head tilting to the side a bit. "Ah, a little similar to Abaven then. Are you trying to steal my ideas, Avalon?" he teased, an easy smile on his lips. "Sounds good though, I hope all goes well up there for you. The North can't be easy." |
