Though he'd rather be off with Deluge, work is work. Duty is duty. It's best that she stays home with her mother and with Jael, on standby for the pups. Leaving the pack unprotected with both raid king and queen rather indisposed was unwise, and bringing his girlfriend out when she's in her condition was... also unwise, if he was to dwell on that. The possessive part of his head happy to leave her here, locked away from the paws of whatever roving males... get your head out of the gutter. Ahem.
They'd be down a bard without Jael, and he'd step in and take her role for now. It's only right. It's on Kenway's call that he comes, surveying the rag-tag crew that's assembled around him. Quietly, Dread takes a seat on Scald's other side. Expression drawn and serious, his attention settles on Ken.
