Sleeping Dragon If you need it

The boy sits there in silence for a moment but when he moves, Gavriel softens his features. He doesn't try to explain himself and instead accepts the fate he'll be given. There's no resistance, either, and so Gavriel doesn't have to chase or hold him down. Perhaps it had been something as simple as wandering away a little too far.

"Let's see if you can find your way back," he offers, looking down at the boy for a moment. "I'll be right here the whole time. Just track your way back to the den."

Gavriel's ears move forward and he gives Hvitserk an encouraging smile. Hopefully, with him nearby, he won't have to worry about his safety or what is lurking around the corner, and give him a chance to really learn his tracking skills on his own.
