She wanted to ask him something? Aki was a bit surprised, as he had called her here to meet. What she could possibly want to ask him, though, was beyond him. His mind jumped, wondering if she was reconsidering the plan that they had gone over, and his brows furrowed ever so slightly as he gazed at her.
The fact that she wanted to be in a pack was not too surprising, though she seemed more the.. free type, like himself. He considered her words carefully. "Well, it is your choice," he started gently, shrugging his shoulders slowly. The ruler was like a father to her - and at least there, his children would be cared for, though being too cared for could be an issue too. What if this Bass guy decided she should raise them in his pack? If he wanted her to be safe, wouldn't he also feel the same about any children she whelped?
"If you think it's best, then it likely is," Aki said confidently. He wasn't entirely comfortable with the thought of his children being born within a pack. He knew how protective they could be of their own.. but Renhett emphasized that they were still his, and that wasn't changing. Nothing in the way she spoke made him doubt her, so dwelling on it wouldn't help the situation any. He wouldn't blame her for her choice, even if it was not one he could ever truly understand.
