"I agree with Bruce," Will said and in the next blink the grey of his eyes began to soften towards blue. He also looked away, back down at where his fingers traced patterns on the cover of the book in his lap. "You've been starting to feel the urge for a novice. Seems as if this boy is in the right place, at the right time; for both of you."
Will was not what anyone would term traditionally friendly with his fellow youngbloods. But Fenris was someone he appreciated spending time with, even if it was to discuss the novices and foundlings to determine who needed to be discouraged from the Black Court and how best to go about it. It might not have seemed as if Will was paying enough attention to develop an opinion like the one he just shared, but there it was all the same.
"He needs to be pushed, Fenris. If you don't push him, he'll develop ways to push himself, and you'll be playing catch up. He's going to test you, because he's going to expect to be abandoned. The more you push him the more you help him prove his worth. Prove to him that you're always there, no matter the stakes, the more secure he'll become. Right now he's dangerously insecure."
