Dragoncrest Cliffs Let it smoulder

She didn't like the fear that settled into her gut. It had been enough, when Swordfish and Quennell had come to them as torn apart as they were- but now this other woman as well? She feared the bear might still be nearby. She did not like feeling unsafe in her home. 

She snuggled up next to Etienne, and reached for Theo so she could sandwich herself between them. 

As for finding food, that was something she could do. She feared patrolling the borders, but she wanted the family to be safe. After all, the more scents they left along the borders, the less likely the bear would even dare bother with them, right? She swallowed, and nodded. She had no suggestions to give, so she remained quiet, hoping there was some way to make all their worries disappear.
