"I don't want to find someone else," Vance replied, hoping that he didn't sound whiney, but just sure of himself. "Do you want me to find someone else?" he challenged as he met Pirate's eyes. "What are you so afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of anything," he said firmly. Vance was certainly taking a stand and it was appealing to Pirate on so many levels. But this just wasn't him; it hadn't been what he'd expected to find at Wolf Haven and the surprise of it was some of what had him digging in his heels. "I just don't do this sort of thing. I'm not looking for--anything. I'm fine alone."

Everything about Pirate was frustrating to Vance at the moment. He couldn't understand why the wolf wanted to be on his own, and he didn't see the appeal of it at all. Vance had felt alone his whole life, and now that he got a taste of what not being alone felt like, he didn't think he could ever go back. "You are so stubborn! And afraid of change and afraid to be happy, that's what you're afraid of," he said as he lifted up a hand to poke Pirate in the chest.

"Why does everyone think that my wanting to be alone is so fucking dysfunctional?" He looked down at where Vance had poked him and stood his ground, refusing to give up any of his space. "So what? You got a crush on an old curmudgeon. Little kid wanting what he can't have and then as soon as he gets it, he finds something newer. I'm happy with my life as it is."

It was obvious that those words hurt, and Vance went quiet and tried his best not to let the tears stinging his fall. He hated crying in front of people, and it was something he never did if he could help it. He gave Pirate a hard shove before he turned around and left his shoes behind, not caring or wanting to take them with him. He was too upset.

Pirate hated to see Vance leave like that and there was nothing more he wanted to do than chase after him. The place where Vance had shoved still ached with the boy's angry touch, though it didn't physically hurt. As he watched Vance leave, Pirate finally turned and stormed off in the other direction.

Feel free to delete this later, haha! But Trace and I thought it would be fun for Joshua to show up at the haven while Miah is missing. Hunter will probably be preoccupied with trying to find the others, so maybe he'll make Joshua a charge of Sigmund's for now so he can focus on finding Wendell & Co.

Also, maybe Vaughn will be the one to tell Pirate that Vance is missing, because Vance has probably spoke of him a few times so Vaughn will know that they were at least friends. Or something, lmfao.

And Joseph will have some fun with Wen and Kenneth can have fun with Vance, if he wants, haha! :]

I think Kenneth very much likes to beat people up. :[ He will certainly have fun with Vance.

Joshua coming while Miah is gone is good. That'll be some great Joshua and Julian play opportunity as well, not to mention the reunion. Julian is just about ripping my heart out at the moment with Mabel.

Good idea on the Vaughn telling Pi about Vance. :D
