Cloud and shade

The unexpected physical contact as Valen gently bumped his shoulder caused him to shrink back - not because he didn't want to be touched, but because the sudden flare of gratitude for the simple touch, the desire to just lean into it, startled him and he resorted to his habitual shy withdrawal. Still, that brief contact cleared some of the fog of his brooding, and he really focused his attention on Valentine. Was everything all right? Was anything all right? "Everything's fine!" he claimed squeakily, his words coming out high and fast in his nervous lie. No need to dump all his problems on Valentine, no. He was an alpha still, he had his own problems to deal with, he didn't need Kassander whining at him. "How about you? How's Imperium? Have you found a mate yet? Any kids?" He was babbling, he knew, but he kept his gaze firmly averted from Valen's, resting it somewhere around the larger male's chest, in the hopes that he wouldn't be able to read it. He was ashamed to realize he couldn't remember if Valen had a mate and pups the last time he'd been here. Had he smelled puppies? He couldn't remember. Was it any wonder Ebony had been a failure under his leadership when he'd not taken note of anything important when he'd met the other packs? All because he'd been too nervous and too fearful to pay attention to anything other than being nervous and fearful.
