It was sort of his news to give, not hers, and she hoped Junior would understand when she finally learned. "You should go see him soon, I think he'd like it." She and Gunnar originally met over Junior's whereabouts, so she had no doubt that the viking male would be happy to see his childhood sisterfriend again, whatever the circumstances may be.

Warden is probably more fitting, though I need to work on it." Junior was a Warrior, therefore an obvious candidate for teaching Saena a thing or two about defending herself and the borders, but the Alpha didn't want to outright ask for help until her sister had a chance to rest from her journey. She was also uncertain whether she even wanted to be a Warden or was fit for the job—she could turn out to be entirely lousy at it.
