The scutarius could sense the denkeeper's nerves, though he didn't quite understand what had made her feel that way. He decided it was likely his presence. Maybe she felt more comfortable around the women, probably more so inside their shared den. 

Thank you, Tamar, he offered as gently as he was able.

He turned to his wife. I should get to my patrol. He stood and kissed her cheek. I will see you later. Please take care of yourself. She looked very tired today, and that only intensified his constant worry. 

He looked to Tamar and dipped his head respectfully. Then he trotted from the den and to the west where he was meant to patrol. 

he can be skipped!
