They floated apart for a moment, the only noise coming from the waves that lapped at the shore. It was cold but in a pleasant way - the kind of cold that reminded you, that yes, you were still alive. Soon their bodies would adjust to the temperature until they waded out into the air again. Kai's defense of himself was snide but his pain was obvious. At least, Theory could imagine it might hurt to find out the wolf you had a "thing" for had an entire life apart from you. In fact, the idea hadn't even occurred to her. She had always thought of love - or having a "thing," as Kai described it - as some kind of all consuming thing. It didn't leave space in your life for anything else. But that wasn't true, was it? Rhyme had loved Shaye. And Tana. And maybe now Samara. Love wasn't quite the glutton she'd thought it was; sometimes there were scraps left over. Maybe those little pieces grew into something different (or something bigger). She gulped. Her thoughts filled with Thalia. Not quite the sight of her, but absolutely the smell. Heady and exotic and wonderful. So different from everything else she'd encountered. Theory's eyes grew half-lidded as she listened to Kai talk about his parents, her mind lost somewhere between Abaven and Aerie. "I couldn't imagine anything else," she murmured as he decried pack life. He hadn't asked for her opinion, but it was true. Where would she be without Abaven? Without Shaye, Rhyme, her sisters? Lost. Or dead. Or worse. "Alright, alright - you're a rarity. A commodity," she agreed, her voice bitingly sarcastic. "Still, to bargain away -" Even a blind man could see what a fool he is. Theo couldn't help but snort. At least that they agreed on. It surprised her to find that they had common ground. After all, she couldn't imagine a wolf she felt more different from. "Why'd you return, then? The raid is over, yes? Unless there is some kind of clever reconnaissance I'm unaware of." Maybe she should give Acere just a smidge more credit. It wouldn't behoove her to underestimate anyone. They'd won the raid, yes, but it had been a close enough call. Winter was their element. Surely they wouldn't return once the snow came?
"theory speaks!"
