When the storm just beats you down

The male dipped his head to him and Chasm did the same, showing respect towards his fellow pack mate. He seemed cheerful and his tone made Chasm calm even more. He was always worried about meeting others, careful about letting others close after being abandoned by his father and his full blooded brother. He always had that fear of being left in the dust again, always felt whoever he got close with would leave him one day. He had little chance to discover this just yet because he had only been spending his time with his mother and his companion so far. The only faces he had met in the pack was Regulus and Castiel (who helped get his mother home). Lack of socializing with others left him unsure how to act around others.

"Kinda.... I've been living here since the beginning of winter, but I've been pretty occupied taking care of my mother as she heals," he replied. "How about you? How long have you lived here?"
