Just Say Uncle

He was feeling tired lately, but it was mostly due to his not sleeping well at night. His mind felt uneasy since the fight with Elias, so he often found himself going on late night patrols when the world was quiet. He had gone to patrol just before dawn, and was finishing it as the sun rose over the lands. He decided to head back to the den to fetch his companions so he could teach them how to hunt. His gaze was fixed on the ground, the path he often took back to each den burned in his mind. He didn't need to see where he was going to get to where he needed to. He approached the den site, and when he looked up he saw Actaea sitting outside the den. He wasn't aware that she was there to see him though, and thought perhaps she was taking some time to herself before going to another lesson. Then again...Shaye had her pups recently, so she was probably too busy with them lately. He approached her, putting on a mask to hide the tiredness in his gaze and voice. "Good morning, Actaea."
