Somewhere between the altercation with his aunts and the actual interior of his home Eros had decided that no, he wasn't going to be sent home. He hadn't done anything wrong, all he'd done was spoken the truth when Sharlee was trying to bury it under gossip. She hadn't even told him now isn't the time or we'll talk about it privately like his moms would have, she'd just snapped at him and sent him home. What had he been expected to do then, just bite his tongue and let her say whatever she wanted about wolves he loved? Pretend he didn't have any feelings or thoughts of his own? Go running to Daddy and ask him to take care of it? They all knew how that could turn out...
He had growled to himself and bristled his hackles, an unfamiliar anger coursing through him. It urged him to run, away from the borders and out into the wilderness.
It took him hours to calm himself and force his paws to carry him back to the Backwater. He'd hoped to have found @Seri in that time, but had been left alone with his thoughts instead, for better or worse. He breached the borders with his head low and tail stiff, ready for an adult to find him and start in on all the ways he'd messed up at any moment.
