The Sentinels Promises to keep

The stranger used kind words, but looked at Sam like you might look at that one pup in the batch with a soft head and an affinity for falling. He clapped his mouth shut, embarrassed, but before he could ask more about the missing packs, a ghost emerged from the woods.

Sam blinked at Solenya. "I thought it had taken you," he said dumbly, then turned to the wolf named Rodyn. "I thought it had taken her." What was the Huldra's deal? 

Sam looked between the two wolves, but when they did not offer him anything beyond sympathetic looks, he breathed a disappointed sigh and turned back toward the forest.

Edit: Exiting Sam!
