Briar was just as quick to stop what she was doing, and turn all of their attention towards the potential threat. Morts mind went immediately to Asla’s tiny children, and his mouth set in a grim line. He would not let a potential threat slip by them. He did not know why the creature had stalked so close to the Armada borders, but he wouldn’t let it pass unchallenged.

His father had placed him back in the Heir position of the Armada, and he had a responsibility to scout out threats. He treated Briar as a fellow warrior as the two of them made their way out of the Armada territory, and followed the sound of the yowl.

When Briar caught his attention, he turned his head abruptly, missing what she had seen. He nodded his head once in understanding to her, and indicated that they should fan out. Osiris had appeared at his heels as they exited the territory, and he nodded to the cat to move further out as well. If the cat was here, they would corner it.
