Shaye’s head hung low as he told her silently that his actions that day had only been stopped because of her order. He would have followed through, and would do so again if it meant bringing his own home. Rhyme knew she wouldn’t agree with his view, but he couldn’t change that.

”I know, I’m sorry I didn’t thank you.” He added, giving her another encouraging nuzzle as she thanked him. She told him the majority of her decision, that Abaven needed to step back. They weren’t supposed to be meddlers. They needed to sort out their inner workings before they could extend their reach beyond their well kept borders.

He nodded at her assessment of their current situation. ”I support you fully in that decision.” For a long time he had debated about telling Shaye she should demote him, but having her here now and discussing the issues needing addressed he couldn’t do it.
