It's not a simple choice for them, no, but... if they went back it would be without me and Lucas, and they decided we mean more to them.
[He hesitates a moment, then adds:]
I'm sure it doesn't help that, in their own world, being neither boy nor girl puts them at a disadvantage with other wolves. I know their pack respects them, but they are still going to be left out of some things, if you know what I mean?
[ Chell grimaces and nods. ] Not easy. [ Even without knowing or understanding all the details of garou society, she can see that being ... complicated. It's all complicated, right?
Not for Max, though. And she wonders if she's overthinking her own circumstances. ]
I'm so glad you'll all have each other.
[ It makes her heart ache a little, too, a pang of missing Beau. She means it, though. ]
And I'm glad I can be here with you, too, as long as I'm here.
I'm glad too. For them, and for you, and for all that I have here.
As long as you are here, you will have a place in our hearts and our home any time. You know you will always have a place with me. I think of you as more than a friend. You're part of my family, Chell.
[ That heart ache wells up and into her throat, and Chell puts her hands on his cheeks, leans in, and kisses him soundly. What words could she come up with that would add to that? She's always been better at action. ]
