Lost Creek Hollow To protect you

The fact he had a specific date in mind suggested that yes, he really had thought through a lot of this.  She didn't think that'd be too far in the future.  It'd probably be okay.  Okay-ish.

Also let's be real, Treason really hadn't dealt much with anyone significantly younger than her to begin with.  She'd avoided the pups back on Sunspire, and she didn't have any younger siblings by the time she'd left her birth pack.  At least by the age that Merrick and Breccan were -- the two she'd dealt with that could actually talk -- they at least seemed reasonable enough.  Maybe because they weren't too far from joining the adult ranks in the first place.

She nodded then eyed him thoughtfully.  Mm. You've worked through it quite a bit, then.  Luck doesn't always let things go as planned, but hopefully it'll be on your side.  She wasn't necessarily a believer in fate or anything, she just knew that sometimes things just inexplicably went counter to what reasonable thought would think.  The weather could be foul, the stag could cross into Easthollow and be taken by them...  Treason could probably think up a few more but that would be silly.  Is there anything else you wish to ask?  It wasn't getting any earlier, after all.
