A Clean Slate [Bass]

His smile faltered before it sputtered out and died. Solstice as no longer there? At a loss for words Bass tossed his gaze away from the woman, his head spinning as he tried to get this thoughts together. He felt as if it were only a few weeks ago that Crucifix came and talked to him, about needing help. Had the pack been torn apart? No... it was Kylar who had called the challenge. So why did... She spoke again, answering his question. Ah, so it was something to do with him and Sibelle then. He didn't know the russet fae well, but he had been rather close with Cru. A heavy sigh left his lips, his weight shifting as he moved his gaze back up to the colourful woman. Offering a rather weak smile, he nodded his head. "Of course Odette, I would be pleased to keep the alliance strong. We used to have an alliance with Glaciem as well, when it was in Athena's paws," his voice was thick with emotion, but he tried to keep himself distracted. Athena too had handed her pack over, and now he wasn't sure where they stood with the new leader. So many packs changing around, it all gave him a headache.

"I am glad to see that Glaciem is back. Did you move up to the North then?" he asked, trying to focus on the topic at paw. There was no need to get so emotional, although he had been excited for his friend to meet his five little ones... but now where was he? Clearing his throat, he blinked his golden eyes as he tried to shake the sadness off. Bass was not going to ask Odette where he had gone, it would not be fair to drag her into all of this.
