come back to life

Usually he felt uncomfortable being watched for long. He was a wolf that preferred to live on the sidelines, away from direct attention whenever possible, and yet the attention of his mate - and his children, for that matter - was strangely pleasant to him. Even though he glanced away for a moment, avoiding her gaze, he relished quietly in the attention as she took in his words and responded. She seemed to be relieved that he agreed with her, saying she'd been worried she'd been going crazy. A slight frown tugged at his lips, and he redirected his gaze back to her, pressing his nose gently to her cheek. "Definitely not," he told her firmly. If anyone was crazy in their relationship, it was definitely him - she was too perfect for anything like that.

He hoped she had some idea as to what could distract them, because he'd been too deep in his own thoughts to think of anything productive. With Esarosa, though, he was sure they could conquer anything - and feeling a bit lost and perhaps bored wasn't at all something too difficult to overcome, not at all. There were far worse things in life to endure, he knew that with certainty. Truthfully, though, he just didn't know where to begin. They probably needed to spend more time training the younger members of the pack, and doing that together sounded far easier than on his own. He hummed softly as they both considered it, but he was glad when she agreed with the thought of doing something alone sounding good.

Going away together, even if just for a few days, after the raid.. it sounded perfect. "I love that idea," Steel quickly agreed, leaning more against her. Their kids were old enough now that they were fine without them around for extended periods of time - actually, they'd be fine without seeing them ever again, as much as that hurt to admit. Perhaps not well, but they would survive. Not that he'd ever dream of leaving them. "A trip would be nice once this raid ordeal is over. Speaking of that-" he started, shifting slightly where he sat to watch her. "How do you feel about the whole thing?" He preferred to stay out of the affairs of other packs, and Sterling was clearly participating. He knew he couldn't watch over his kids forever, but the thought of them possibly getting injured was distressing, and he frowned slightly as he spoke.
