The Sentinels two verses

She was appreciative when Aria shared the tale of her high status without Lucani needing to nudge her for it. The grey wolf found this happened often — for she loved hearing the stories of others, and had learned that hearing them required patience and respect. So Blue Willow had stepped down to focus on parenting instead of leadership — this was respectable, and far better than other reasons why one might drop their rank.

Congratulations, she said warmly as she walked at the white beauty's side. Lucani was silently glad that she herself was so tall, or, being weakened by illness, she might not have been able to keep up with one so youthful and sprightly. If you don't mind my saying so, I have always found it exceptionally impressive when someone so young reaches such heights.
