The Sentinels When all you got is hurt

Osprey should have known her kids better by now - even if they appeared soundly asleep, they still had a keen instinct of feeling, when she was about to leave. It was yet for her to master the art of sneaking away without them noticing. 

For this reason Terance was not scolded for getting up and out after hours (they rarely were, for Osprey believed that in some things rather than forbidding and setting rules, it was more effective for the kid to learn life knowledge on their own - don't want to sleep, when you are told - so be it). She met him with a kind smile and beckoned him to follow her. 

"We are going on an adventure," she whispered to him.
