Maybe later in life Alder would find the same sense of valor, the same need to protect. He would not always be a coward, when the time came he would see that braver was not something that he lacked but something that had been hiding within him. But for now, it was dormant inside the puppy. Perhaps in the months and years to come such a thing would blossom in the chest and heart of the masked male.
Blue eyes looked up at his brother, wonder in them as well as a bit of fear. He was searching for the answer, the truth about the humans and their wars. Alder would rather sit and watch flowers grow, or listen to birds sing instead of fighting with anyone. Even an enemy. But there was a great sense of relief felt when Haven spoke, and he even felt his ear lift and his tail wag again. He didn’t want things like that to happen, not in Crimson Dreams and not in Haven’s home either.
The pup gave a nod, quiet in nature had many thoughts and few good enough to say aloud. After rolling the idea around in his head many times Alder finally replied, I’m glad. Alder looked at the helmet, maybe he would need that later. Can we take it? He asked, he knew that it wasn’t right just to take things that didn’t belong to him.
