Gwen tilted her head in curiosity at the howl ringing through the warm spring air. It was Regulus calling for her, specifically, which was unusual. She was out along the border, not necessarily patrolling right now so much as strolling along the wall to enjoy the warm sun, and the heat that the stone walls retained from standing sentinel all day long. The walls would make evening sentry duty pleasant, she thought, since they would keep the heat of the day longer than the air would. She had no qualms about abandoning her walk right now though, warm as the day already was anyway, and she jogged towards Regulus' summons with a smile.
