It took only a few hours for Licht to tire and calm down. When his mind finally cleared up, the tiger could not believe the tantrum he had thrown. Yes, being clean had always been important to him, but losing control like that was simply a shameful display.
Neither Sturm nor Schatten berated him for it, albeit due to different reasons. Unlike the brumawolves, most raitigers lived a sheltered life, and that was especially so for a future leader like Licht. Being powerful and deadly in combat did not mean one could automatically endure and brush off hardships like they were nothing.
After going through two years of intensive training in isolation, only to directly start fighting against physically superior opponents without rest, it was only a matter of time before the stress and pressure would get to him. Even though Schatten was a lot more used to living a harsh life, the wolf deserved some rest as well.
