Torin merely nodded to his first set of words. He knew there had been a lot of tension between him and his father and perhaps Torin didn't feel like his father had pride in him. Frost knew though, being a father himself that no matter how upset and angry he may get towards any of his kids, he still felt proud of them. He was sure it was there for Zell, no matter how much he may bury it. Torin would then poise a very good question that made Frost feel a little guilty. Frost really would love to start now, but he knew that wasn't at all fair to Torin. It was selfish of him to want to start right now and not give Torin some time to prepare, but he had been preparing since Frost switched roles with him.
"Soon, the end of this season or beginning of spring," he said. "Spring is when I really plan to start training with the kids, hopeful to find some other wolves to help teach them and since Star has disappeared again........ I'm on my own to ensure the kids won't be effected negatively."
He was sure Torin had noticed her absence again. Frost was feeling utterly heartbroken over it, but he did a decent job of hiding how depressed it truly made him. It helped that he still shared a den with the kids, if he hadn't he would be feeling worse. They kept him from slipping into depression and not giving him the chance to truly be alone, which he was thankful for.
