[Despite Vasha's insistence otherwise, both Veritas and his family refuse to let him give his pelt to Veritas right away. He needs more time to recover and let his pelt heal before he does that. They may be right, but he's so annoyed by it. Still, he listens.
Some months pass. Vasha ends up spending most of time with Veritas, quietly admitting one night that while he can't sleep alone, having the pod so close is stressful. Maybe one day he'll be able to, but for now he can't manage with that many people. Veritas is safe, though. He can sleep just fine with Veritas. In Veritas's bed. Under Veritas's blankets. After eating Veritas's food.
Honestly, they're all lucky he waits the four months he does before deciding to try and track down Veritas, pelt in hand.]
