Arrow Lake didn't see that coming

She tracked her son through the territory, intent on asking him to accompany her on a patrol so that she could see how he was doing without coming right out and asking. He was the only one of her three children who would really speak to her right now. Stag said absolutely nothing, and Monarch yelled at her most of the time. She would only let the behaviors go on for so long before she pushed for some kind of change. But that time wasn't now, so she sought out Mesa. 

His scent grew stronger and then mixed with the scent of Kazimir. She wondered if they might be sparring or hunting, but as she got closer, she heard yelling and the sounds of a scuffle. Her hackles rose, and she picked up speed, afraid something had happened to her son. But as she finally arrived, she was confused to find only the two of them. Had they been fighting? She walked up to the pair just in time to hear Kazimir's last words, and she walked over to stand in front of Mesa protectively. Her gaze fell on her son, her anger flaring at his disheveled state, and then she fixed Kazimir with a cold glare, raising her eyebrow just as she spoke. And just what exactly will you be speaking to Mahler about?

Sorry I couldn't resist. Hope you don't mind mama bear
