Sleeping Dragon by means which have never yet been tried

Hvitserk doesn’t appear to be done as he follows behind him and it’s not until he’s seated and comfortable that he realizes the boy has followed him. Gavriel’s smile reappears and he lowers his head once to lick upon his head, wondering if he will keep him company so the meal does not go to waste nor get dirty by setting it in a cache. As his son speaks, however, he realizes he missed an entire set of clues and frowns at himself for not being observant enough.

Gavriel wrinkles his nose a little but brushes it off to put his attention on Hvitserk to speak.
