Blackfeather Woods the watcher

From the shadows he watched, wondering what occupied them when they came out of the den. Cicero knew that he had been gone, though the exact timeframe escaped him; he did not know if it was days, weeks or months that he had been gone. Truthfully, Cicero did not mind overly much if they adored him or not, for he was still loyal to them and would help them if ever they needed help with something and sight him out.

He noticed their eyes upon him, and yet he stayed in the shadows, where he belonged. Cicero wondered if Damien was near, but he did not catch his brother's scent, so he was probably not.

In silence the watcher started at his protectees, wondering if there was anything they wanted from him. Looking over Pietro, he had grown so much since they had last played hide and seek. Would he even still like the game?
