Wraen had not expected to have company - Elfie least of all - because the Sentinels were hardly inhabitable place for prey and predators alike. The ruins of the glory days past, the ghosts of dreams and heroes that wandered among the destroyed trees was not a hospitable environment.

She sighed and turned to face the boy, smiling at him kindly and feeling glad that the darkness hid the marks of her tears and sad expression in her eyes. "Hey - how did you come here?" she asked him in a friendly curiousity. Reprimanding him for being so far away from the copse would be counter-productive. It was no secret to her that her star-pupil was not the easiest person to be around in the pack and the troubles Eljay had in containing his son and having a reasonable relationship with him was affecting other children too.
