Watch As She Buckles And Bends

Kichi had a friend or older brother, Alastor.  Now here was Relm.  After several run ins with her in their past that went ‘fine’ and then the time seeing her sick he certainly liked her more than other wolves but what to make of that he didn’t know.  She seemed fine with his head and it was almost a surprise.  Neither one of them were the touchy feely sort but for several minutes it seemed alright.  

After his words, Relm got up to go work on digging a pit about the body.  Kichi’s mind was still working over what to make of those few minutes that had passed.  The notion came to him that he trusted Relm.  Not just for generic things where he reluctantly gave a measure of trust to the wolves of the pack but it was more natural with her.  There was no faking of who he was, nor was she in any way irritating.  No yapping about stupid stuff, or pestering for friendships, no trying to be cute with words.  Aside from Al, she was also the one link back to when he was a pup, and it wasn’t even a bitter memory.

Still musing over how that trust made touch alright he moved to assist in digging the pit.  They weren’t going to be here forever but the pack was too close to this for it to burn down now and a shame to have the corpse’s final action be to help make the area burn.  

Kichi remained quiet again at this point.  If Relm wanted to talk she would if she wanted to think she could have silence and when the digging stopped if she wanted to sit by him again, that was fine also.  Kichi wondered if she was going to want to fight again after this.  Kichi liked fighting when he was numb or angry or bored, ok he liked fighting at any point.  Whatever Relm wanted, no reason not to help out tonight.
