Eviction Notice

Arcturus did know her well enough to see the anxiety and the tension that had gripped her and the fact that she hadn't said a word while the male from the near by pack spoke to them hadn't gone unnoticed. Most of their time together and been just the two of them with the one exception of when he had taken her to meet his mother and sister so he hadn't seen much of how she reacted to strangers and while he was sure this was an extreme example of that given the fact that this pack was trying to evict her from her home, but all the same there was a tight worry in his chest for her. He tried his best to gently offer her other solutions and places to go from here, but the hard anxiety that was etched onto her features only deepened and her insistence that she wasn't ready broke his heart. He briefly considered chasing that brute down to beg for permission for her to remain on these lands for a while longer, willing to pull the fact that he was the grandson of the Armada's alpha since he knew the Armada and this Ashen pack had close ties just to see if that would get him any traction.

In the end though he knew that wasn't solving the problem. It was just delaying the inevitable. He thought about how long it had taken him to get over his father's death even with the unwavering support of his mother and sister and he knew that whether either of them liked it or not they were going to have to face this sooner rather than later. He sighed softly after a long moment of thought and consideration before he slipped a foreleg around her shoulders, gently pulling her into an embrace and letting her hide away against him and in his mane if she wanted. "I know how hard it is," he said softly, squeezing her lightly in his arms. "We're never ready. It's never convenient, it's never easy." He nuzzled her ear and focused on just being here with her for a while. "We don't have to go anywhere right this second. You have some time." Lifting his head enough to peek down at her face, he gave her a little smile and asked, "Do you want to tell me about her? Would that help? Or do you just want to snuggle and be here for a while?" He wasn't sure if she would even know what she needed right now and that was a feeling he knew all too well. He didn't push or rush her, just letting her work through her thoughts at her own pace.
