Rebellion

The dark male had been on patrol when he spotted the pup bouncing across the territory off towards the wall past their borders. He paused and waited to see if she'd been followed by an escort or her father, but when no adult was on her tail he found himself in a rut. It wasn't like him to ignore a wandering pup out ignoring their boundaries, and surely Acere would forgive him for leaving the patrol unfinished when it concerned his daughter.

Fracture followed a distance behind her and she seemed blissfully unawares. Eventually the pup made it to the wall, and as she stood to admire it's towering beauty he came up alongside her. "Princess, surely you know better." His gruff voice came across as stern yet uncomfortable. He didn't know many children nor spend time with them, and it wasn't his place to command his King's young ones. However she was also Heloise's daughter, and though his friend had seemingly abandoned them he still felt indebted to make sure they were safe and cared for. "Your father will not be pleased." He made no move to step towards nor move the girl, and said nothing on requesting her return to the territory. If she wanted to explore then he assumed the King would allow that under the watch of one of his Knights, and Fracture believed children needed such freedom to grow strong and independent.
