Things had changed quite a bit for Sota recently, but he welcomed those changes as best as he was able. He had a debt to pay, after all, even if Eris had long since forgiven him. At least now he was back in Auster, in the lands he was more familiar with - this world seemed quiet, more untouched, and he was grateful for somewhat of a return to his roots. The addition of new life into the little group he'd found himself part of was definitely the most welcome of the changes. He had little idea how much Eris would allow others to be involved in Casper's life, but the least he could do was aid in protecting him and ensuring he had somewhere free to group up, without everyone fearing for his safety constantly. Sota could definitely be a part of that.
Though Oxide seemed to think that he'd be able to teach him more. To climb the trees - as best as he could with his size, of course. If he grew to be anywhere close to Oxide's side rather than Eris's, he had a feeling his tree-climbing days might be short-lived but it was a thought he'd entertain as long as he could. "You're right," Sota agreed, their proximity suddenly hitting him like a ton of bricks. He wasn't sure whether to feel shame for enjoying his touch - he was Eris's mate, after all, wasn't he? Even if she didn't acknowledge him as the father of her son, as he'd explained. It was hard to feel truly guilty when he'd enjoyed the moment they shared, as much as those thoughts tugged at his mind. "I'll always be here. No matter what you need," he promised, thankful for the fur that hid the way his cheeks grew warm at the thought of a man like Oxide needing him for anything. Pushing the thoughts away, he offered a bow before turning to head back the way he'd came, head tilting high to scope out the cedars for a suitable path through their branches.
