He pushed the busket somewhere out of the way in the small den and found himself a seat. He watched as she poured the water for the tea and he made a small face at her words. “I don’t really want to go back” He said, voice quiet. He knew the admission would be a disappointment to Kotori, but he didn’t feel like he belonged in his brother's pack. He missed it here.
He missed being around Halo, and this tree house. Of inviting wolves into the Armada. It had been so easy when he was a child. He remembered the ease in which he had gotten to know everyone around him. Now… No he felt like he was falling, always. He didn’t know how to save himself. He didn’t know who he was any longer. “I’ve been… I don’t know, getting by, I guess.” He didn’t want to lie to her with false assurances.
