Unspoken Love

Every day he spent within the Armada felt more and more like home. The feeling was only intensified by the fact that two of his siblings had decided to join him here. He suspected they'd find comfort in the pack but at the end of the day it was their choice if they wanted to remain here. He hoped they would, but he wouldn't push them either way.

Today his mood felt particularly light as he patrolled the forest. At first he'd been uncomfortable at how much leisure time he had, used to spending most of his daylight hours focused on his own survival, but in time he grew comfortable with it and found a routine that he quite enjoyed. Making his usual route around the pack borders, he was pleasantly surprised when Silent found him. It was mid morning, a pleasant day by all accounts, and the wind that whistled through the forest felt invigorating rather than uncomfortable.

His characteristic faint smile appeared at the sight of her. "Silent," he greeted her gently. "Care to join me for a bit? I'm almost done patrolling the edge of the woods," Bronze gestured vaguely around them. "After that I have no plans." Maybe she had something in mind? He was hoping she did, though he'd struggle to admit that out loud.
