Reminisce

The boy smiled at the much older wolf. It was... nice. Nice to have someone with years inquire about him. It was nice to know that someone cared. "Thank you," he said again, truly meaning it. Now that the initial bit of awkwardness was out of the way, Beat genuinely appreciated Rhyme's intent.

When the man told him that he was never a bother, Beats ears tucked back against his skull for a moment. He was so underdeveloped. He always felt like a bother. He didn't even like asking Twig for help with things because he felt like a burden. It would be rude to turn the offer away. Besides, he was trying to be a better wolf, right? "I appreciate it. And if you ever need to talk, or just.. I don't know... be around someone for a while? You can come to me." There. A good exchange. He felt... peaceful about the whole interaction. It was a strange feeling, but not unwelcome at all.
