Walk | Talk | Think He was unsure at first whether his answer had been received positively as he had hoped it would be, but was not disappointed when Akemi thanked him. Whether she had been offended or not, she was still able to find the truth in what he had explained, her help and worth that apparently only he had been able to see until a moment ago, and he was glad he had been able to change her mind. Not only was she of no use to him with her doubts clouding her thoughts, but her confidence was better overall for herself as well. She needed to keep it in order to keep providing for the pack, to keep making herself an asset instead of a liability. And since he respected her and her bravery he wanted to see her rise up from despair and still push through to something better. Words had never really been his strong suit, and they evaded him once she had finished speaking her thanks. He could only nod, understanding and acknowledging what her life had been like compared to what it was now. What they had was good: she felt at home here enough to support it and he wanted her to do so. It was an unexpected mutual relationship that worked out for the betterment of them all, and it was all Rune had ever wanted for his pack. It was startling for him to realize it, to recognize in that moment that this was all he had ever striven for when he had thought up the idea of Secretua, but it was satisfying in a way that even claiming the territory had been. Here was the success he wanted, and he only hoped to repeat it with each other wolf who joined them. "Don't forget it either," he added, one edge of his lips nearly curving in an uncharacteristic smirk. The good feelings of making a difference, of having someone know they were making a difference within his pack at the same time, were getting to him, making him feel more calm, more hopeful and optimistic, than he tended to be on his own. And in a strange way he rather liked it. But there was no sense going back and forth thanking each other for their contributions to the pack; it was only what was expected of them, nothing more. Instead he tried to steer their conversation away from it, toward another curiosity that had been coursing through his mind for a while, one that he felt was overdue to be brought up. "Have you seen your brother around at all?" he asked, approaching the topic casually though he was irked by the lack of presence Freyr kept around the pack. That, however, was his worry, and not one to share with Akemi. |
