Sun Mote Copse seems every castle is made of sand

Arcturus did not say anything, but did not decline her offer either. Wraen brushed gently against his shoulder, as if to say "Cheer up, soldier!" and then led him to the Eastern edge of the Sun Mote Copse, where she knew that no one had taken a perminent residence at the time and, where the river formed a natural border and therefore patrols were also less frequent. 

"Forgive Towhee's misgivings - she recently gave birth to a child she had not expected and she is very, very protective of her. Don't expect her to be friendly with you, but don't take it personally either," Wraen filled the silence with useful information Arcturus might want to know, if he was to stay here fore a while. "Niamh is about to be due too - so, if you meet with distrustful glances from her, don't take it personally either."

"As for the rest - we have a lot of good-natured yearlings, you met Pippin already, Phox, who is Towhee's brother, and there is Eljay too - our resident medic, midwife and expert child-carer - and my sister Maia," Wraen continued to tell. "She will kill me for not telling her about you, but she will be over the moon to get to know you. Besides - she is awesome. That's about sums up of, who we have here," she finished and looked at Arcturus fondly.

"And - remember - even if others don't treat you just as friendly or make you feel welcome, I am very glad to have you here and I will make sure that under my wing no harm will come to you," she added confidently.
