~ ZEV ~
Zev waited for Sasha on the trail where they'd said they would meet. When she finally arrived, Yhet hovering at her side, he was at Sasha's side in a heartbeat.
"What is it, what's wrong?" he said, hands at her waist, looking back and forth between Sasha and Yhet.
Yhet gave a nervous grimace and opened his mouth, but Sasha reached past Zev to put a hand to their friend's arm, as if to soothe him before she looked at Zev.
"It's okay, Zev. Yhet was just telling me about… about when his mate died and it made me sad. I was already frustrated about Nick. That's all. It's nothing."
"Oh," Zev looked up at their friend. "Are you okay, Yhet?"
"I will be," Yhet rumbled.
