Amaranth could shift now, and Vigilante was glad to have been able to help her through the experience. He knew that it could be a difficult thing for some young canines, and as far as he knew, the aid of a trusted adult was often sought. The Constable was glad that it had been him to help the young girl through that time, and they seemed closer now. He appreciated that greatly, as he knew that she had been confused or possibly hurt by the separation of her parents and her mother's quick mateship to the man that they had been taught was "Uncle Vigi." He cared about them immensely, and was glad that Mara seemed to be closer to him now. The lynx attack was, of course, worrying, and it had him making more and more rounds every day, worried that something could harm his mate's children or the other young pack members. The potential danger was present, he worried.
It was on one of these rounds that he heard the short call for a leader, and curiousity drew him closer. Vigilante found it amazing that there could be another newcomer so soon, but it should not surprise him, at this rate. He seemed to be answering a number of border calls as of late. Naturally, the large dog trotted in that direction, covering the distance in a short time, curly tail held pleasantly over his back. What he found there confused him, though it was not because there were two of them—it was because they smelled heavily of a pack. Perhaps this was not his usual border call, after all. "Good afternoon," he started, offering them both a smile. "I am Vigilante Haskel, the pack's Constable. Is there something that I can help you with?" The fact that they both smelled so heavily of a pack was what seemed bizarre to him, though he hoped he could help them with whatever it was they sought, regardless.
