Noctisardor Bypass Stop posting the eyeballs -- if you don't stop I'm gonna take them away from you

Patrols were hard for Pheiros, despite how badly he wanted to be better at them. It wasn't really the work that bothered him, it was the fact that he was often alone when he was on one. It was a long time to be alone, and he would start to get bored or his mind would start to drift to things that made him sad; that was usually the time he called it quits, vowing to return the next day and pick up where he left off. Unfortunately, this meant that he covered far less ground than an older, more efficient pack member. 

Speaking of efficient, today he had come upon Arbiter's scent while attempting today's patrol. His tail began to wag, and he excitedly started to track her down. Maybe she would let him join her, and then he could cover more ground today and maybe ask her more questions. He wasn't so great at tracking either, so it took him quite a while to find the leader. When he did finally make his way to her, he increased his speed, trotting exuberantly forward until he saw the stranger. He froze for a few seconds, smile fading from his face to be replaced by a more serious but curious expression. He took a few steps forward, Arbiter's words reaching his ears as he moved. He stopped at her side, careful to hang back just a little to show that she was definitely the one in charge. His murky gaze traveled from stranger to Arbiter a few times before finally settling on the boy. He wanted to know what he was doing here too, so he waited quietly for an answer to the leader's question.
