They were never without eyes on the borders, no matter who was awake and who might be sleeping.

Kitsune finding her at such an hour was unusual in itself, but she would never complain about her daughter’s companionship. Venom offered a little nod and smile in return as the young woman matched her pace trotting along the pathways. "And even more lovely with you.” She returned, unable to keep herself from a quick nuzzle to Kit’s cheek as they walked.
