Though Moon didn’t say anything, Tagg could tell she too was concerned for their mutual friend. It was clear to the russet man that his words didn’t help Kajika feel any better, and he knew that were their positions switched he would want to leave.
“Come on.” He nudged Moon, his plans for a nap forgotten. “Kajika looks tired; we should let him get some rest.” He assumed that’s why he’d come to the den.

With a nod to his friend, he nudged Moon, attempting to herd her away. “Let’s go exploring or something.” He suggested. Anything if he got to spend time with her. He wouldn’t have minded just relaxing around the den area, but he also wanted to give Kajika his space for the moment. He would talk to him later and try to see what was bothering him; the beta had been there for him, and the veteran wanted to be there for the dark man as well.
I’ll talk to him tomorrow. Tagg decided.
