This was scary, Alder felt as he looked at the other boy. he knew that there were so many other wolves that were braver then he was. His brothers for sure, as well as his big brother Haven. Momma wasn't scared of anything, or so he felt. The world seemed like it was just filled with creatures that were more courageous then he felt he could be. He didn't like that he felt so alone in the idea that he was timid and a scaredie-cat. Alder wanted to be brave, and though wanting to be so and actually being braver were two very different things, he listened to Denali's explanation and felt that it wasn't such a horrible thing.
If his mind wasn't so very jumbled and conflicted he would have caught the notion of an Old mother, but the masked pup just wasn't thinking straight and he looked to the ground as he considered the idea. Denali seemed a bit more sensitive to his unease, and Alder felt duly appreciative and embarrassed that he needed this extra consideration. The only thing that he could do to remedy this was to nod his head (which he did) and gather a little bit of determination. He could be brave, or do brave things!
Okay He said, and started to follow the other pup.
