So this is goodbye

Gwen trotted along the outside of the border wall, keeping her senses alert for activity. Anyone on this side wouldn't be trespassing, but they would still be a potential threat to keep an eye on, or at least someone of interest to talk to. Not that she didn't like the other wolves in Celestial - she did - but a change from routine was always welcome. Her pups would be going on sentry duty with the adults soon, which would not only give them valuable responsibility, it would also be more interesting to boredom-prone youths. Boredom meant they were more likely to get into trouble trying to amuse themselves. On top of that, doing something for the pack would make them feel more a part of it, and goodness knew Artur at least and likely Caelia could stand to do more integrating into the pack. When she was gone, Celestial would be all they had to lean on. She wanted them to feel they were part of something larger than themselves.
