Rising Sun Valley these battle scars don't fade

Kaede felt similarly to Star, though he had no way of knowing it. From what he had heard, Shadow had committed no real hard offense personally against the Creek. Of there was a way to peacefully allow him to see his children, even if only once in a while, should they not at least consider it? The diplomat in him cried out to speak up and counter Scimitar's words, but as happened so often lately he held silent. He needed a stronger feel for Scimitar's character, a better knowledge of how he felt about what could be seen as insubordination in view of an outsider. Were this a meeting of only pack he would have few qualms.

His sympathies went to the father though. As one who loved his father well he could imagine the pain of being separated from your children like that. It could not be easy, and the family oriented pack he came from would have considered it a major breach of honor unless the father was a danger to the pups.
