Blacktail Deer Plateau baby bear

Grayday had thought as much, but was still relieved to hear that she wouldn't be slipping off into the night. He felt as though Raid needed them, even if she didn't seem to see it, yet. "I'm worried about you," he said to her, wishing he could see her face to track her reactions. "You get along fine with everyone, but you seem to keep to yourself most of the time. You never stop working - I feel like I only see you take breaks when you're sleeping."

Before he could go on, another wolf arrived - a joiner that he'd heard about, but had not yet met. Still, he knew her scent, and now her name. "Hello, Kaevo. I'm Grayday," he replied. "And this is Raiden."

He glanced back at Raid, only to remember he had nothing to gain by doing so. He turned his blind head back toward Kaevo. "We were going on patrol. Care to join us?" he asked her, hoping Raid would be okay with the company, but fully willing to force their presence on her either way.
