...Am I To Believe You Were All At A Picnic? {ABAVEN}

Shai was quiet, but that shouldn't have come as much surprise. While he was loyal to Bass and Abaven (and Allen in his stead) the behemoth's main concern was his growing family. He had two daughters to train, feed, and look after. Motif had been able for a moment, to allow Vail the freedom of the territory and he'd been spending as much time with her as he could. After the most recent of events though, her leaving the pack after Lillie, both parents had been more on edge. He'd done his best to get Motif to relax, Vail was resilient and would bounce back quickly and Lillie would heal in her own time as well.

Today he'd convinced Mo to let him take Vail out on a little patrolling mission, mostly to reiterate where it was the boundaries were and how important it was to stay within them. He'd met a few slave traders when he was younger and still lived with the tribe in the south. None of them would have thought twice about taking such a vulnerable little girl. While he wanted her confidence to return he also needed her to know that the world was dangerous.

The two would walk and talk, taking their time in circling the territories, about half way through though would come the sound of Allen's voice. Ushering his tiny child towards the meeting the two of them would quietly take their seat after a quick greeting to the stand in alpha.
