Arrow stopped when he spotted her. She looked so happy, so carefree at this moment. He tucked his tail between his legs as he padded up to her a regretful look in his eyes. His tail started to come out from its hiding spot. "Misty..." he breathed softly. "Look, I didn't mean to upset you, but I have to consider the ones who would have to move or find new packs to join as well," he explained still having a difficulty breathing. "You're beautiful," he finally said as he glanced away from her. He heard the young pup's howl and howled back to the new one. He hadn't meant to ignore her, but he was such an emotional wreck.
