Steel had always thought unpleasant affairs could be settled more amicably, if only wolves bothered to try. He remembered, quite clearly despite how young he'd been, when his father had pleaded to be released from their old pack with his mother and himself. Nobody else had simply stepped forward to ask, and instead had resigned themselves to prisoners. But all it had taken was a simple proposal, and they had been freed. What if the same could be said for the raid? Perhaps resources could be traded, or an alliance made.. he really didn't know much about politics, but simply taking what they wanted didn't seem fair to him either. It all just didn't sit well with him, but at this point it didn't matter much what he thought about any of it. He watched her expression carefully, noting her ears folded back slightly and she glanced away. She wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of the raid either, it seemed, but she'd decided to keep an eye on Sterling and Jade too. Gently he leaned into her more, letting his muzzle drape carefully over her shoulders as though embracing her, pulling her a bit closer. "I wish it wasn't either," Steel admitted, his voice soft - letting a bit of sadness come through in his words. The last thing he ever wanted was to put his family in harms way, but if they were going to do this, he would join them. At least he'd have a chance of keeping an eye on them that way. "I can't help but keep thinking it's not safe either. If anyone hurts Sterling or Jade.." Or, god forbid someone tried to hurt Esarosa, there would be hell to pay. He could already feel his jaw clenching as he imagined it, as hard as he tried not to. His voice trailed off though; surely his mate knew what he was thinking, and he didn't need to elaborate. "But.. our daughters are smart. I just hope this all turns out okay." They had decided to join Talis, and thus follow Dragon's orders, no matter how much they disagreed with them.. right? They didn't have to join the raid, so he wouldn't gripe about it now. At least, not to anyone but Esa. |
