Broken Antler Fen double-back, ask for time

The little girl did not, apparently, like being looked at. Her eyes, so like Addie's, flashed in something a lot like hatred - and Grayday thought it said a lot more about him that it did about her when he realized he felt a little guilty. Two quick steps backward were made to counter the girl's advance, and he flicked his dull eyes toward Sebastian to see what the alpha would make of it.

No aggression so far, but he couldn't expect that to last. Hell, he'd side with Addie any day against some blinding stranger. So Day thanked the Cat and Calf when the man seemed to take no offense, though his words were firm. Eden had told the truth, apparently, but that was now the least of the Silvertip wolf's concerns. His eyes flickered between man and girl as he spoke, widening as he realized that this was Adeline's sister in front of her.

"Beg your pardon," he said with a swift dip of his head as Sebastian finished his thought. He hadn't gotten the history lesson before setting off, though he knew that Adeline had had siblings who were 'no longer with them' - he'd assumed that meant the more permenant kind of depature. "Probably they thought it would be okay, since I didn't get to Silvertip until after she - left?" Day shook his head, deciding it was unimportant. "I'll let them know. Thank you for your time."

Turning away from the border and the painful sight of Odette's unsmiling face, Day hurried away from Sebastian's land.

Poor Oddie!
