No fear allowed

Even admitting to loving her she could still get the fun reaction of his ears twitching back in irritation. ‘Sap’ wasn’t a word that he cared to have applied to himself. However, he was tired with little energy to burn on staying irritated. Besides, he was being pretty sappy in comparison to his normal personality. Leaving not only meant having to walk again but leaving the warmth of the springs. The suggestion to spend more time there came to mind but he knew the reality. Did he intend they stay there until the next day? The longer they waited the later it would get and the temperatures go down as the sun got lower in the sky. Best to go now. Naiche looked back up at where they had come from. Moons and stars had he really climbed down that with her on his back? Shaking his head at their foolishness he moved to follow Asla on the path home.

Teasing reply comments to his being a sap came to mind but no matter how light-hearted he might try to make them Naiche imagined there could be a harsher sting. He could blame her for being a sap but that would be blaming her for what happened and he had no wish to put that on her. He had decided the path, he had gone along with it despite his hesitations, it had been his idea to leave the pack land to chase the bear she’d found, to begin with. Pointing out he was being a sap because she almost died also could put a sour spin on things. It appeared she got to win in the teasing this round.

More words came to mind of things they shouldn’t do that also felt they could come off wrong. Really, was there anything he could say that wouldn't either be sappy or come with a stinging bite? “You asked me if I was going to patrol when we got home. I’m changing my answer. I’m going to sleep,” right now he felt like he could just sleep the next day also. The more they walked the more he started to realize how sore he was all over. “Only reason I plan to do anything is to rip anyone up who plans to interrupt us from said sleep.” She would most certainly need the sleep also.There, something safe to say and completely accurate. He wanted to physically recover and emotionally. The ghostly reminder of his terror from the whole scenario needed time to fade.
