Because, you know, I'm a pirate

Rhyme might have laughed out loud with his brothers at one time if confronted with this scene.. before. The thought only made him hurt and he brushed it from his mind as Ash offered a similar greeting to the one he had given. Chaos, of course, was quick to get down to business. He was surprised at the words that came afterwards, Rhyme had never been good at detecting pregnancy but he had his suspicions about Arpeggio. Not that she had been around enough to confront, and she hadn’t come to him. He didn’t know if she’d said anything to Shaye.

"Ash wants his pups in Legion.”

Which really meant he didn’t want them in Abaven. He felt his brows fall as Chaos went on. He came to him with a trade in mind, but he obviously hadn’t thought much about what Peggy wanted. They were her pups as well. ”She is free to go with you if that’s what she wants.” He wasn’t about to stop her from leaving she was free to make her own choices. He knew he wouldn’t have to speak to Shaye about that. However, this all sounded like she had already turned down an offer to go to Legion. Did she know they were here at the border negotiating for her children?

He saw first hand how losing a mother could affect pups, and he didn’t see Peggy being one to be able to leave her pups.
