Sah pawed at the ground, a mix of sheepishness and excitement echoing in the bond,I may have done something drastic without speaking to any of our friends or family first. There was a brief pause before this voice in the bond was more insistent, But I swear to Safrin that I thought it through first. He'd been contemplating hybridizing for over a year and, perhaps he should have spoken up about it. But it felt too personal.
What if he had talked about it and gotten everyone excited, only for Safrin to turn him away? To be deemed unworthy and for everyone else to know it was too painful of an idea. It was a level of vulnerability that the Wild Thunder hadn't quite been ready to risk with anyone, not even his family.

Being an acquaintance, her opinion wasn't of wasn't nearly as important. And if Safrin had denied him, he rarely saw the Celestine Caretaker anyway.

the wild thunder
Lightning strikes
A distant howl
