Gannet watched with absolute contentment as his son squealed with delighted laughter under Ibis' play. She would make a good sitter and friend to him, and he was suddenly struck by how good it was to be surrounded by so many friends. This pack had such a different feel to it than Moonspear had - here, everyone he crossed made him feel better on seeing them, and everyone he spoke with seemed keen to bring joy.

As Ashlar struggled to his feet and began to run, kicking off a game of chase with Ibis, Gannet leaped sideways into a playful hop so as not to provide a shield or a hiding place. He then joined in, beaming at the fun of playing on a beautiful sunny day.
