The Sentinels In this burning house

deirdre's eyes widened at the prospect the new wolf had brought up to her. no one is permitted to trespass, deirdre informed. and so she moved toward the borders to check and see, hearing her name called. when she rounded the redwoods, she noted that larkspur had not, in fact, trespassed; neither had the man beside her, who deirdre had met before and had informed of the search that had been set out for him. she looked back to the lovely new she-wolf of donnelaith, and smiled. there is nothing to fret over--there are no trespassers here, came her warm voice, only larkspur and her father have come to visit! she could not help but move to embrace the former, moving to run her muzzle alongside the others in a fond greeting. it has been too long! she withdrew, and looked to mordecai, smiling--you are looking well, and it was true, by her standard; mordecai was certainly in better shape than she had found him in.
