It seemed that her persistence had won him over and for the moment she enjoyed what information he would give her, whether how small. He was unusually short with her, but respectfully so considering how horrible she had treated him, but she took the information he gave as a good sign. The pack had moved closer, which had the potential for them to meet more often, if given the chance she supposed she could venture out from the border in search of him purposely, if only to gain a few more minutes with him. "Good, I'm glad to hear that. I assume all is well then," under his guidance so many moons ago the pack was fairing fairly well, she knew that he had proved to be a better leader than even he had expected and she was happy that finally he had seen his potential. She had realized it from the moment they met, and staring at him now, he wore a confidence that looked very well on him. " I joined Fallen Tree Cove some time back, Kajika currently leads and welcomed me into the pack. He is a great wolf," she said, not sure why she had even mentioned that last part but assumed it had everything to do with the stench of another wolf he carried on his pelt. She was not naive enough to believe that he had not taken up a mate by now, and part of her was jealous that finally he had found happiness without her. "I...I'm sorry Lach..." the words spilled from her jaws without warning but there was no taking them back now--she meant every word of it.

"Good, good. I'm happy to hear that," she said, a smile came across her lips easily and she would have pestered him further but part of her was more interested in him--everything concerning him. She had a million questions to ask: who was he with, how many puppies had be helped to conceive, would he ever be able to forgive her, but the smarter side of her knew these questions were trivial. It was not wise to ask these so soon, not when she couldn't quite tell if he was remotely happy to see her, and if he was, he was excellent at concealing it. She had given her his pack with hopes that he would do something with the information, perhaps visit them when the weather was better, she would welcome him with wide open arms as he had done for her so many times prior if ever he did. He deserved that at the very least, since her loyalty to him had been severed more than once before. "and thank you, that means a lot to me." his happiness had always mattered to her, even if she had been much of the cause for his pain.

She could feel the bubble return to her throat, it threatened to stammer her words, make her appear weaker than she actually was but at this point of time she was not ashamed to admit that he made her feel emotions that she thought were dead. Memories of him had helped her during her worst times and she often recalled them when she rested in her den, secluding herself from the world in a attempt to quell her loneliness away but now he stood before her, his eyes as sparkling as they were the moment they met and she wanted nothing more than to feel him next to her. She wanted to make the pain go away--she hadn't meant to harm him, and yet she had been too selfish to think of him those many moons ago. Now he stood before her, unbroken and strong and she was near the brink of crumbling. This was strange to her and it showed in the very way she attempted to speak to him, "no...no Lach I do need to apologize. I know it won't change anything, and you have every right to hate me, but I at least want you to know that..." she trailed off, knowing that what she said now probably held no merit but voices in her head urged her on and she swallowed a large lump of pride and continued. "I never stopped thinking of you." she meant to say more, admit more to him during this brief meeting but she held back simply because it hurt more to think that everything she was feeling wasn't reciprocated.
