Lark was glad his dad didn't seem too disappointed. He knew Bass expected a lot of him - and more than that, he felt he'd let him down a bit. Years ago they had discussed Lark possibly ruling Abaven someday, but he hadn't exactly been that motivated. And now here he was, late for meetings, though he always made sure to answer his father's calls quickly. Part of him had expected some kind of scolding, but he was grateful that he saw nothing like that in his father's eyes. Lark returned the smile easily, happy at their reunion. "I agree with you there," he responding with a slight scoff. The lands they had claimed did prove to be quite warm in the summer months, though the river provided a good respite from the heat. Shade simply wasn't plentiful here, making patrols a grueling task on the hottest days.

Lark settled down on his hindquarters too, squishing the grasses beneath him as he reclined. "I've been fine," he admitted hesitantly, though he wasn't lying. Things were.. simply fine. Lately Lillie and him had been spending less time together, which only further complicated things. His brows pulled together at his father's question though, surprised. "Not at all," he responded quickly, shaking his head. Especially after how scarce his own mother had been, it made sense that Bass might want to be a sort of father-figure to someone else's kids, especially someone who needed help. He hadn't thought of it in a negative light, and he'd never been much of the jealous type. Lark shrugged his shoulders. "I think it's great you're helping them. It'd suck to not have a dad.. or someone like a dad." It had sucked not having much of a mom, too, but he and his siblings had endured.
