Elizabeth watched Sawyer carefully for a moment, trying to sense what his real feelings were and why he had chosen to mention them settling down with this pack.
He was remaining deliberately neutral in his expression and his thoughts, and it made it impossible for her to figure out what was going on with him.
“Is this your way of asking if I will settle down here with you?”
He smiled at her attempt to probe him for more information, but shook his head.
"Not exactly… it's not really up to us, anyway. We don't get to decide to join another pack by ourselves, we have to be invited to join and we need to be committed to the pack we join with in a way that I'm not sure I can be right now."
It made sense,and Elizabeth felt slightly arrogant for assuming they would be able to join this pack
