Blacktail Deer Plateau breathing in the view

Liri was frozen, unsure what it was she'd said that upset the Beta so. Was it that she had called Illidan her son? Or maybe that she had called Illidan Grezig's son? The leader was left gaping, her jaw working slightly as if to call out to the brown agouti as she fled but no words left her lips. 

The healer was left alone on the edge of the plateau - staring down at the grass guiltily as Grezig disappeared. She shook her head slightly. It wasn't as if Illidan had actually gone anywhere yet. They had only been preparing in case he did. The boy was still safe within their territory for now, most likely near the Door or under Kavik's watchful eye.

After a time, when the light had mostly faded and the world had grown chilly, she finally got to her feet and padded back towards the Door. She would find Illidan, watch him for a moment and assure herself that he was alright, and then curl up with her mate and ward within their cozy den.

np, thanks for the thread! And thank you so much for the kudos <3
