“Excellent” He agreed as she settled down and got to work with him. The two of them could have made quick work of the carcass, but Sirius worked slowly and methodically, savoring the moment of working beside his daughter. She was right, she could definitely handle some skinning, and her claws made neat lines across the carcass.

As he pulled the skin free and draped it over the drying rack, Briar began to speak. He looked at his daughter with a heavy frown. “Yes, you mentioned Art was attacked and recovering - I’m surprised someone managed to pull a fast one over him” and extremely displeased that someone had hurt his godson. Perhaps he ought to get down there himself and check on the boy.

“Lia was attacked as well?” he shook his head with a soft growl. He hadn’t heard anything of that attack. “I dearly hope this isn’t a sign of a bad batch of wolves setting up in town.” He said, unhappy with what he was hearing. “You be careful taking those crossings to the Hallows Briar, I couldn’t bare it if something happened to you.” and that right there should have spoke volumes at what her earlier speech meant to him. That he would not simply forbid her. She was be two soon, she was beginning to be an adult in this world. That didn’t mean the urge to keep her safe wouldn’t always be there.
