Arthur and Nick
"A friend." That sounded complicated. Nick understood that. Complicated was the usual for a lot of people. It had been for him. It still was, just a lot more quietly.
"I'd guess that your friend is more help than purpose." He knew a little about a little. "But that's good. This place isn't so bad once you get settled in." It just took a little longer for some people to do than others, he supposed. He had to wonder how he would have handled it if his Pack hadn't been here before him.
