Larksong Grotto The Wind is Unsteady

If Reek had realized Esaro's intent to go directly to Sleeping Dragon -- thus starting the same war he wished to prevent by crossing the established boundary line -- Reek would have forbidden it outright. Though he was no longer Esaro's alpha in a conventional sense, Reek still felt his old, naive subordinate was one of his own. Being so, Esaro was still subject to Reek's command (or so Reek thought). Assuming he was leaving to return to the maplewood without further issue, Reek let Esaro turn away and walk. Giving Esaro a slow and physically painful parting not, Reek departed as well.

He would be sure to tell both Luna and Tavi of his visit. Well, he at least thought so then. Reek had a lot on his mind and Esaro's visit would more than likely slip from memory in the coming days. With Esaro now gone from the borders of the grotto, Reek noticed his wounds had begun to reopen and bleed freely as he walked. This patrol had been a poor idea. Reek now knew he needed to stop and rest. And so, he limped his way to lake to begin cleaning his wounds.
