Bonds never to be broken

As Haydée’s features shift to be more contemplative, she waves Beauregard across the invisible border so that she can walk and order her thoughts. At the man’s protective words, surprise flickers across her face and she darts a glance up toward him while a small, warm small ticks up the edges of her mouth. The young woman suddenly realizes just how wonderful it is to have Norad as their allies. Head gives a gentle shake as she angles them toward a path that will eventually lead to the top of falls as she slowly begins, “The only thing that has been harassing us are predators. Stupid creatures must think Ethne is weak because they keep crossing our borders and attacking wolves.”

Frowning deeply, anger tugs at features for a moment before she shakes her skull and waves a dismissive paw, saying, “But that wasn’t what I wanted to share. I have had three wolves’ trespass into Ethne territory. They weren’t looking for trouble and we give them kindness and food. But…” The worry is back, settling on her brow and pulling at her lips as she slowly treads the well-known path. Huffing a sigh Haydée says, “One of the wolves looked to have been dumped within our borders. She was… hurt pretty baldly. Bay and our healers are still tending to her but it seems that she was kidnapped and hurt to try and get information from her.”

A strange darkness settles in her eyes as Haydée recounts the events and it is obvious that, if the young Leader ever meets the wolves that caused her new charge harm, they would not be walking away from the encounter. Blinking, the darkness retreats and, in its place, the normal warmth returns as she looks to Beauregard. Brows lifting as she asks, “Have you heard anything about a group looking for a koi-marked woman?”
