Stone Circle Discussing Matters

 

Stark took a bit longer to get to the meeting point, he'd been running the borders again but by the time he'd gotten there it seemed a decent number of them were already gathered. He took his spot next to Banner, meeting Valette's eyes with a brief smile. No doubt what was being discussed was important and Stark reached over to press his snout against Banner's plush cheek before they got into the thick of things. When he had been sure that Duskvale was encroaching right on their doorstep, so to say, he'd done much of the same. More patrols, tighter ranks - the whole matter what come along with the prickling feeling of unease. That problem had dissipated in an entirely other way though - and Stark wasn't going to go down that road again. Not now. 

Banner offered to take up a night shift of patrolling and Mawk proposed running another patrol during the afternoons. "We should keep an eye on the surrounding territories too. Just as a precaution - keep a couple checkpoints so if we do encounter anyone out there, we have a heads up before they're on our doorstep." He couldn't help but think of the stranger who'd refused to leave their borders and wondered if that wasn't a ploy; but then, things had been relatively quiet since then so maybe he was just overly cautious and a touch paranoid.
