Sleeping Dragon they've got the kingdom locked up

She doesn’t expect Eske to be thrilled about the idea of not having action every day. Even in Seageda, when war was common, they did not have problems that often upon the borders. Their security had been a great force and those nearby knew better. Those in the Wilds have yet to come to respect the borders of their home but they only meet ill-will and aggression. When she is presented with questions, Thuringwethil takes a step forward to continue along her claim.

“Sometimes. When your father found the grotto wolf too close to our home, we kept a close eye on the borders but we patrolled further out just to make sure they got the message,” she explains. There are other times that she goes further from the land but in regards to the patrol, she keeps to her answer. Scouting is a different skill-set all together.

Thuringwehtil considers the next question for a moment and ushers the girl along when she realizes how close they are. She thinks of Storm and Esaro and the struggles they’ve had as they settled their ground, and while they are special cases the first few times, she knows that trend will change. She takes a long stride and lifts her head to find the corpse of the Seadog wolf that had not listened that fateful day.

“This is the wolf that I will be marked for in a few days. She did not listen when she approached,” she explains. A few weeks in the heat left it hardly recognizable as a wolf but the outline is there. Thuringwethil looks up the kill for a moment before she moves past, keeping Eske on task with a nudge.
