Poem was scarcely startled by the boy but it seemed like she put on a good enough performance for him, Poet giggled innocently in his victory. He was such a happy puppy, Poem still had trouble believing how much joy her children brought into her life. After living through such harrowing events having this new little life looking up to her made everything and more worth it. She would have given everything she lost again just for her little boy’s smile. He was even more eager as she offered him a place beside her and his sister.

The boy rubbed through her legs and eagerly raced ahead, not quite enough to catch up with Shae, but the girl was already gone. Poem padded forward, pale white paws keeping up with her boy quite well. He spun around, another question on his mind as he spoke and asked about where exactly they were going. A very good question though.

”We don’t really have a destination,” she told him, offering a gentle nuzzle to his cheek as she walked beside him. ”This is a patrol, we’ll walk along the border and make sure nothing is amiss. No strange scents crossing and no threats lingering around the border.” She explained to him as they continued onward.
