"Oh, right. Yeah. That makes more sense." Nich replied awkwardly. "That's fine. I'm perfectly capable of eating raw meat." He headed out of the den, still pretty unsteady.

She nodded as they continued to walk "well good it's not to far and you'll be able to sleep until your wound heals. "
"Sounds good to me." Nich kept close, figuring that the other wolves would be less likely to try and kill him if he was with Ember.
"Heyyy! Ember! Finn hurt himself!" Teagan called from afar.
"I did not! You hurt me, stupid!"
Ember sighed and shook her head "walk it off if you can still annoy me then your not dying! " she called after them
"Do you have siblings nich? because if you do, I'm sorry to hear that. "
"Eh, well, I used to…" Nich replied awkwardly. "My sister, Yuri. She passed having my nephews, they're twins. She and I didn't ever have any physical fights, though. Didn't fight much at all. She was very mild-mannered."
"Oh I'm.. I'm sorry to hear that, were you close? You and your sister. "
Nich shrugged. "Not exceptionally. I mean, we weren't on bad terms, but we just had different interests. And she was a few years older than me, so she didn't really want to hang out with her little brother."
"Oh I see, well I'm sorry for your loss.. Do you see your nephews often? " she didn't exactly know what to say at this point she felt awkward and a little rude
"It's fine, it was years ago. I do see my nephews pretty often. She lived closeby to me with her husband, and he works a lot, so I look after them sometimes. They're about… seven or eight now? Still pretty young." Nich hummed thoughtfully. "They weren't terribly affected by it since they never actually knew her."
"Wait you said he works? You guys work amongs the humans? "
"Well, yeah. I mean, I'm sure he hides the whole…" He gestured to himself, "…y'know. There's some magic stuff available that can disguise your appearance. He wants his kids to be able to live comfortable lives, not stuck in the forest fighting for their lives."
"Eh it builds character that's how I grew up and I did just fine I still am. " she spoke jokingly with her head high
Nich shrugged. "Well, y'know… he wants them to be able to socialize with other kids and have friends and stuff. Not have to be isolated and hidden all the time."
"Yeah I guess that's understandable but it could put them in danger. "
"Yeah. I dunno, they're not my kids. It's not up to me." Nich replied. "They seem to like hanging out with me, though. Don't have to hide their fox features."
"Yeah I know I'm just saying what if something happens and one of them slip up you never know, " she smiled a little bit at the last thing he said " u bet it always feels good to shift and burn some of that energy that's what it was like for me what u was that age. "
"Yeah. They're pretty good about keeping it under wraps, though." Nich smiled as well and kept walking. "They love to blow off steam in the yard. They fight each other kinda like your brothers do but I don't think they've ever actually hurt each other. Not badly, anyway."
"Damn its usually so simple for them here they never really have to worry about anything besides staying in this area because of the hunters they're not safe to leave that's why I don't let the boys leave. "
"Yeah… they don't look much like you, though. Is your mother a blonde?" Nich asked curiously, noticing that Finn and Teagan's fur was much lighter in color than Ember's. They really didn't resemble her at all.
"Oh um their not my biological brothers we found them when they were basically babies. "
"Oh, that makes sense. Did someone abandon them or something?" Nich asked, tilting his head to the side a bit.
(They probably would've run away since their parents were scared of them after they were bitten)
(Yeah that makes sense )
"They were bitten and their parents were scared of what they might do so they ran away me and my Father we found them when he was taking me out to hunt. "
Nich nodded a bit. "That sucks… I hate that parents do that. My kind are born, not bitten, so it's a little different, but… I'm sure they get backlash because they're so rowdy as well." He couldn't see Finn and Teagan, but he could hear them.
"Eh well they are safe warm and well-fed here they have good lives so does everyone, it's my job to protect my pack and my family I'm next in line to be alpha and that is honestly… terrifying it puts more pressure on what I already do."
Nich nodded again. "Yeah, that makes sense… we don't live in packs usually, so there's not a lot of pressure on specific responsibilities. I rarely run into other people like me, actually. Yuri's husband is one of the few others I've met."
"You don't live packs I knew that but it's strange, why would you put yourself in danger like that? it makes no sense at all. "
Nich shrugged. "I guess we're just more solitary by nature. Family groups live together, but not usually past that."
"Yeah that's still strange though… "
"I guess so. I don't mind being in the city. You have access to more stuff there." Nich explained. "More food and transportation and all sorts of things."
"We have to big of a population for that and people would get suspicious, I don't think anyone really cares about you guys running around, but us? Oh no we have to be exterminated. "
