Knives & Pens

He has every right to... Yeah, he supposed she was right. And when he thought about it, his young nephew was practically following a sort of traditional thing without realizing it. He himself had gone out and accidentally came face to face with a bear when he was a pup, and he had scars from that encounter. It wasn't the most pleasant memory, and damn those wounds had hurt when he first got them. And although his own muzzle was scarred from a cougar fight, he couldn't imagine the pain that came from a full grown tiger slashing him across the face.

"I wasn’t sure I would give it, but.. In the end, one action dosen’t define us. I respect who you are, and I respect what you will create. I’m glad you sought me out today, and we had this chance to reconcile.” He looked at her for a few heartbeats before dipping his head in thanks. "I suppose you're right...I'm glad we had this chance and that we've been able to reconcile as well, even if I don't agree with...well...you know." The whole doing the cousin thing. It still grossed him out and in a way, saddened him. He had begun to get feelings for her, but of course thanks to his luck...it had been extremely short lived. Of course, he still cared about her. But he highly doubted that she had ever felt the same way. Wishful thinking he supposed. He shook his head to dismiss the thought, "It doesn't matter now,"

"Speaking of lending members. Once Tana and Rhyme’s children are one year - which is only another season away - if you have your pack by then, we should look at sending them to your pack to study for a season. The experience would do them a world of good, and they could spend some time with their mother. If any of the three wish to stay at the end of it, we could organise that, as well.” Again he nodded. He wasn't sure what the future held just yet, but he was glad at least that he might be able to keep his promise to Tana. He felt she would maybe get better faster if she had her children around her...after all, they were her only family. He hated the idea of her being separated from her kids, but their first birthdays weren't that far off now. Had time really gone by that fast? "Sounds like a plan. I firmly believe Tans will benefit from it. Perhaps help her feel like she has purpose in her life. She really does love her children, you know. They're the only family she has in this world."

He didn't have kids of his own, but he had plenty of family around. He really hoped having her children around would help her...and if she refused to try to get better, then he wasn't sure what he'd do. He didn't want to feel like he was holding her hand her whole life, but only time would tell. "I truly appreciate the help, Shaye. I feel like I owe you alot, not just for this but for taking us in. Teaching Actaea things I wouldn't know how to teach her, and for Rhyme taking care of Ignis. I know we have our differences, but I appreciate your friendship. I always have." He offered a smile, and for once...he felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
