Cypress was genuinely sorry that he had made 'Missa worry. He certainly hadn't meant to. Yet, at the same time it almost made him happy to know that she had missed him at all. The conflicting emotions left the boy with some confusion, but it faded away and was forgotten as he promised Artemis that he wouldn't leave again without telling her. Had he thought to consider anyone but himself, he probably would have told her this time around too, but it was too late for that now
What more could Cypress really say about his father? He had only met the hybrid twice, though this second time had given him a better chance to get to know his sire, it still felt as if he had just scratched the surface. "Thanks, Missa." He was just glad she still wasn't upset with and not nearly as pissed as Alder had been about it all. "Alder's pretty mad about it." Just even thinking about his brother started to bring back the foul mood he'd been trying to lose as it sat at the lake's edge. He hated to think Alder was going to be staying here again.
Cypress gave Artemis a surprised look as she said she wished she looked like either of her parents. "Nah, your beautiful they way you are Missa" The words falling off his tongue before he even realized what he was saying. Though once he did realize he felt bashful and foolish for his loose tongue. "I mean, your pelt is a blend of them both if you think about it. What could be better than that?" He said quickly trying to cover his previous words.
