Duck Lake Say that love

Since she'd managed to not cross paths with Kaertok on his last return to the territory other than scenting that he had returned, she'd expected he'd just end up gone. From her experience so far, it was a realistic assumption. So many were happy to leave, it seemed. But now she'd start on a wider sweep, to go find those that might make for good minions. Perhaps the easily controlled would be more loyal.

And so in this negative swirl of thought, one who she thought was a ghost had returned, apparently having recently returned from his own adventures. A single wag of her tail -- she was glad he had come back, but let's not get all emotional now -- ears pitching forward. A few sniffs, trying to discern his travels, Was she at the coast as you guessed? A tilt of her head, but not too much of a pause before she continued, You ran off about when I made the adjustments to my plans. In other words, if he was going to say he was totally bailing right now, he might be missing out -- but that wasn't the whole thing, news was everywhere.
