@shadowsfm / kaz time: around noon location: [REDACTED]
As much as they would’ve preferred to be behind closed doors, there were no regulations for their interactions here. Perhaps it was their paranoia getting the best of them - it wasn’t like one of them could come waltzing out in the middle of the day, especially in the middle of their rotating territory. Still, they picked at the hem of their sleeves like their life depended on it, their mind repeating over and over that they shouldn’t be there.
But there was Kaz - one of the few lights in their life. Despite Kaz being a purebred Lycan, they were still young and unrelenting. Soren couldn’t help but see their own long-gone pups in them. Seeing their unwavering determination gave them hope for tomorrow - that their paranoia could one day cease. Perhaps that’s why they involuntarily smiled when they saw them.
There was only one way of describing it: if Soren was a moth, Kaz was an uncovered lightbulb. Everyone knows how that ends. But they were already mentally preparing for any answer they could receive despite the question being relatively simple. “How are you holding up?”
