Gyrfalcon's Keep Painite

Thanks for continuing Jess! Last from me :)

Granite expected them to continue pressing into his space, like his older brother Badger. However, the other kids showed immediate signs of appeasing submission when faced with the newcomer’s spicey display. They backed off, laid flat, and gave the boy the space he desired.

He licked his lips, whale-eyeing them warily. A small part of his ego was boosted. He did have the power to command others into obedience.

However, he didn’t warm up to the pair. It would take more than just one encounter to form any kind of bond. As if sensing the tension, Solveig appeared. At the promise of food, his focus on the other children became redirected and he followed his new leader to find a snack.
