Let you down

Things had been quiet since Drifa had come calling. Theo wasn't sure if she was grateful for the continuation of normalcy or if the prolonged stasis made her more anxious. Was there change on the winds? She'd spent so much time and energy worrying about what might happen that she'd had less attention for what was really going on at home. Poem's birth and the little puppies had taken up the bulk of her time lately, but she was slowly leaving "terrified that they will stop breathing in the middle of the night" territory. Hovering was bad for personal growth. Or, so she kept reminding herself. Poem and Sparhawk were their parents, anyway! She was free to be the "fun aunt!" It was a bit of a learning curve. The fun would come eventually. Probably. Theory followed along the well-worn patrol path that Corvus had taken. She'd picked up his scent a while ago and figured it would be good to catch up. No new developments had occurred with Incendium and Ignis, but she could tell that something had changed him. Was he dwelling on his old friend's change of heart more heavily than before? "Corvus," she called out as she caught up to him. Theory pulled up alongside his shoulder and joined his patrol. "Anything to report?" Theo added in jest. Nothing of note had happened for weeks now, except the relentless winter.
