its another one

Leonce didn’t offer any questions as Rhyme slowly concluded their time around the territory. He supposed that was a good thing, it meant Rhyme had done a decent job. He looked towards Abaven’s newest member, wondering if it was hunger in his eye that he saw. Not that there was time to explore that thought as he watched the mischievous ferret emerge from the thick wolf fur to chomp at Leonce’s ear. Rhyme managed to stifle an amused chuckle as the black and white man howled out in pain. He was reminded of the pain in his shoulders the raven’s had been when they first started to perch upon him.

”Well, she knows where we are now.” He offered a sympathetic chuckle that time. The two of them didn’t have to wait long for Shaye to appear beside them. Obviously confused and a little worried about the call she had just heard. ”Speak of the devil.” He teased Shaye slightly, it seemed good to be around the young Leonce, he felt much more carefree than he had in seasons. He had pup like qualities, but Rhyme didn’t have to worry about making a mistake in parenting around him. Leonce’s carefree attitude was rubbing off on Rhyme in a good way. ”Everyone is in one piece at least. Shaye, this is Leonce. Our newest member, though I thought to defer to you to rank him.” He’d tried to hide how far his confidence had fell from Shaye, but his caution was obvious in this decision.
