At his question surprise became the immediate expression on her face. Solas waited as he brows scrunched together as she thought. It wasn't a simple question to answer and did depend on who the wolf was. Her response was long and he tipped his head curiously as she explained that she had been gone not just a week or so but a few months from her pack. What were her reasons for vanishing? He held his tongue as she continued on to say that she had been accepted back because she had been young and that for those that had been taken they could come back but for those that had betrayed them they needed to stay gone. The stormy male nodded in agreement. That was very true.
It really shouldn't have surprised him that he was asked his own question but it did and he had to take his own moment to put his thoughts in order. I think you're right on a lot of things. He started slowly. I left my own pack more than once due to different circumstances, but I was always accepted back. Which might make me lucky since I don't think very many wolves would readily accept someone who has gone missing more than once. As for accepting the deserters back, I think it depends on the situation. We had a lot of wolves up and leave at once and I personally don't want to see them again because they left us in a very tough situation. Yet, I can't exactly hold it against them since I was considering leaving again as well. Why he was telling her all this he didn't know but the words didn't seem to stop coming. Betrayls are tricky but I don't think that wolves who have committed them should be accepted back at all. When was the last time he had spoken this much? He honestly couldn't remember.
As he explained a bit about the mountains he put out a paw for her inspection and she moved closer to investigate it. He grinned as her eyes widened. She even went to rub her nose on it and he was amused that he could barely feel the touch. She pulled back to ask him if he had been with his pack long. Solas tried to remember when he had joined this last time. I think about four to five months possibly longer if you consider the couple times I stayed and then left. So I guess I'm not exactly sure. Something always seemed to happen that dragged him away.
