men were shouting, glasses were clinking & laughter filled the hall on a fine friday night. after a long week of hard work, most villagers would find themselves needing to relax & blow off some steam to transition to the weekend in a much more relaxed mood. weekends weren't any less stressful for many, mates, pups - friends, there was always something to do.
silas was in a similar position as he could leave sam in the nursery during the week, but when he had no shifts on the weekend, he’d be watching her. he didn’t mind, not at all, but sometimes he felt like he wasn’t allowed time to himself. It was either work, helping in the village, run extra errands or take care of sam. he was tired, he was frustrated - so he’d asked the caregivers to look after sam until morning, which gave him the evening off.
so, he was sat in the tavern with a few guards, but also others, they were having fun & he was starting to feel lighter with every emptied mug. one thing he couldn’t ignore though, not even after several mug of ale was dante. dante stood for everything silas hated in alphas & the worst was that he was proud of it, too. god, he hated his guts. just hearing him talk across the table from him filled him with rage. "
we’re trying to enjoy a night out, how about you keep your ridiculous opinions to yourself? nobody gives a flying fuck what you think.“ could he have worded it better? for sure. did dante deserve everything he just said? for sure.
