Trapped in the snare

Strai retreat wasn’t fast enough, and Spider caught him in the act before he’d gotten very far. He stopped, and looked back at Spider a little sheepishly. “Oh, hey Spider” He said, as if he hadn’t sent his bird to get the other wolf. He could feel his resolve crumbling. How did he put into words that feeling he had lately? Of being confused, and lost. The ground he had been standing upon had fallen away, and he wasn’t sure what to do.

He didn’t look at Spider for a moment, his eyes on his paws when Spider asked if everything was okay. Spider was… good at the emotions. They’d always surprised him that way. Strai was pretty lost in every department there except anger. But even that hadn’t been enough to scare Spider away. “I… I don’t know. Are you sure you want to hear it?” he asked, giving Spider an out. Or maybe it was giving Strai an out. He wasn’t really sure.
