Walk | "Talk" | Think

He should have known better than to think she might misunderstand or fail to understand at all. Somehow Alamea seemed to know the significance of the home he had left behind, even if he had failed to tell her all of the details surrounding it. Perhaps she was only thinking of what it might have been like to suddenly lose her home, the Valhalla, instead, and it had triggered the sudden sympathy. Whatever the case, Rune was grateful for it, pale eyes closing as she scattered soothing kisses across his cheeks. He had been right to come here and find her. He may have never received such affection inside the pack, but it was definitely what he needed to feel whole again, something he could cling to in order to feel that sense of normalcy return.

The whispered voice of the little white wolf drew Rune's eyes open part way, staring upward into her face as she continued to lie above him. The look about her face warned him that she was conflicted by revealing anything, and when she finally did he knew why. Valhalla was being placed in a compromising position, readying themselves to defend an enemy from the north. If they might place the heavier brunt of their defensive force against that onslaught, it left them vulnerable in others. And had he been still a part of a pack, the information would have been incredibly valuable and easily manipulated into a gain for them should they have been of a mind to take advantage of it.

But he had no pack anymore, no higher ups to report the information to now. If anything, the naturally strong desire he suddenly had to defend the little white wolf made him consider for half a moment the thought of staying and seeing out the end of this war, to know for himself that she would be fine and come out of it clean. "Maybe," he started to say, pausing as if second guessing himself before continuing, "maybe I should stay. Make sure you're safe." He came from such a different background than most of the wolves there that he doubted he would mesh well inside their community, particularly knowing where it was he came from and those he associated with. But it was still a thought in his mind, and considering it bought him a little more time to be with Alamea, more closely than he had so far gotten to be, it was definitely at least worth consideration.
