The call from his King would echo through the lands. Once he had felt compelled to rebel against command, to try to gain power and listen to no one; but oh, how time had changed him. He knew what was important now -- and that was his family. Part of him still wished he'd been in some position of power in his life, but the more rational part of him knew it was for the best that he was not. No, a life of humility suited his temperament better. So it was with ease that he hoisted himself onto all four limbs and began to guide his children. He wanted them to understand that it was not okay to ignore such things as a call by their King -- even if they wanted to, it was for the best that they attend too. For their safety, he hoped they would not be as rebellious as he had once been. No, submissiveness and mindfulness were important traits that would keep them safe in the long run.

Returning his wife's affections more than gladly, he set off behind the children, wanting to keep an eye on them even though they were beginning to be old enough to not need constant supervision. It was not surprising that Faolan rushed ahead of the rest, even ahead of his wife -- but not too far from their gaze to cause him much worry. Before long they settled near the gathering, but kept their respectful distance from the King and Queen. And their children. He eyed them quietly, wondering if any of his children had befriended theirs. They were nearly the same age, after all. Silence fell over him as he pressed his face against his mate's, waiting for whatever news had to be shared.
