Jack pets his hand soothingly. If they weren't sitting, he'd probably have already hugged him again, but right now it's just awkward to try. "Sometimes we do things in our pasts that we are not proud of," he says. "For reasons that no longer apply to us. Even I have done things, not just things that the wolf has done, but things I decided to do that were not good things." He looks up at Serph's face, expression fond but also determined. "But Serph. That does not mean we cannot try to be better than what we have done before. To choose different things, better and braver things. I believe that you would choose a different thing, now, than as that human you were before."
