Talk enough sense and you'll lose your mind

Torin sighed, casting dual toned gaze to the darkening sky above. He'd hoped to be back in packlands before midnight but that didn't seem to likely anymore. He'd reluctantly sent Jewell back to Lirim to try and prepare them for what he hoped would be his arrival with this Jendayi woman, reluctant as he knew his adoptive sister was nervous enough as it was outside of the border and she certainly hadn't been keen on going back without him. But he'd done his best to reassure her she could make the trip in safety and that if anything bad happened all that she needed to do was send her new bird friend either to him or the pack, whichever was closest, and they'd be there to help right away. He only hoped his words would prove as true as he'd made them out to be.

He wanted to take the weak, emaciated female back to Lirim with him, even if it was just to recover but he wasn't about to kidnap her, no he wouldn't force her if she was absolutely against it, much as he might prefer it. He glanced over his shoulder, towards the mouth of the abandoned badger set they'd found, it'd only taken him a few minutes of digging to make it big enough for the smaller woman and he waited now. The cooling corpse of a small rabbit sat just at the entrance a meal for when the woman awoke.

Which frankly Torin hoped was soon.
