If he suspected she was telling the truth about her entourage of friends, Phox didn’t put off any indication that he was worried she would. She seemed to be capable of keeping it on the down low until Niamh was able to talk to her kids about it. Good. That would work out well, and hopefully Fig could and would do the same.

It’s too soon to tell, but likely, yes. Phox and Niamh had certainly put in the work. He was looking forward to being a dad many times over, and he had already gone over and over in his head the fact that he wouldn’t leave Fig and Fenn feeling left out. How he was going to do that, he wasn’t quite sure. But he’d make it happen.

Phox stopped at another cache, sniffing at it and deciding this one was good enough for now, too. He pulled back, posing another question. If and when we know for sure, I think I want to get the pack together for a hunt. Do you want to go with us? he asked. He wasn’t sure how she might make herself useful, but she tended to know that better than he did.
