No way was she missing this. The impromptu meeting with Ayasha in AniWaya was too important and far too interesting to just drop once they got back home, so Orin walked alongside Shawchert to Thornbury. They had left their daughters in Bangle’s care, so she probably would have had to go back to the village anyway. But the walk to the Capitana’s house wasn’t exactly the most pleasant venture they’d been on. Orin had become annoyed with Shawchert for being so tactless in such a sensitive matter, and if he had not noticed by the way she was acting, the missing tail hair would surely remind him.
She wasn’t trying to give him the cold shoulder, but when they walked away from AniWaya’s borders after any brief discussion they chose to share, Orin fell to silence. Silence and Orin didn’t use to go together, but now she welcomed it as she pondered what was happening just outside of their pack’s realm.
Not wanting to miss a moment of this, Orin didn’t even pause to change back to Optime. Still on four petite little paws, she pranced up the steps beside Shawchert. Ears pert as she awaited the sounds of movement inside. She hoped Skye was home; she really wanted to be a part of the information that was given to her. But for all that, she longed to see her daughters, and was torn between hoping they would be here too and hoping that they had gone out with the coy-wolf pup sitter.
As they waited for Skye to come to the door, her piercing yellow eyes turned from the door to Shawchert. Her irritation with him had begun to subside. The childish part of her wanted to tell Skye what he had done, but Shawchert was working so hard to redeem himself. Should she give him a break?
We’ll see…
