He hated doing it for the obvious reasons, but for a situation like this it would be rude if he didn't. He could almost hear his late mate's voice telling him to just get over it, that no one would attack him out in the open. Heath huffed through his nose. He lightly pressed his index and middle fingers to his temples in an effort to push out the memories.<br/><br/>The Sheriff waited until the end of Alex's speech to leave the crowd. He ventured back to his car, where he could still very much see the goings on of the gathering but be by himself in a sense. He cleared his throat, lit another cigarette, and watched. Heath wondered where some missing members of the pack were. Specifically the one he preferred be in a place where he could supervise her. He was thinking of Rayen. Heath had - more times than he could count - saved her from being arrested or charged with far worse crimes than she already had under her belt. It wasn't too much trouble in the long run, but the paperwork she created was something to be reckoned with.<br/><br/>Heath shook his head. She'd get her when she could, if she wasn't busy burning down her school or flirting with a random man at the corner store.<br/><br/>With a half-hearted laugh, Heath watched Tòmas challenge the new Alpha to a spar. Nothing too serious, of course. But Heath was interested. The outsider had a certain spunk, and Heath guessed that by the way he interacted with people that he was supremely loyal. The Sheriff liked those sorts of people, and one that liked the occasional tumble didn't go astray either. Perhaps Heath would buy him a drink one day. When he had a day off, that was. If Heath was noticed by the man, he would nod politely and hold his cigarette up in a 'cheers' motion. Otherwise, he would simply continue to pack-watch until needed.
