Trapped in the snare

Strai shifted his paws a little, embarrassed. “I didn’t mean to stay away.. It was all the stuff happening in the pack.” He explained. He didn’t want Spider to think he’d been avoiding him. Especially when it wasn’t true. Time just slipped away from him. They were all of them getting a little older, their childhoods falling away. Terrifying times.

Strai hadn’t met Sirius, and he’d only seen Bas distantly the first time he had met Spider. He had been a colossal, scary wolf. Especially when Strai had only been a pup. “Wow… that’s a lot. I guess we’re both moving up in the world.” only, he could bet Spider was doing a great deal better with leadership. He fell silent, knowing he wasn’t the right wolf for the job he had fallen into, but feeling stuck all the same.
