Blue Smiled and pressed her forehead into his " That is fine...." she said then removing her forehead " What about Ashleigh? Is she alright with your departure?" she asked as if to spark a question in the Kit's mind.

Tomen's mouth opened in shock as she so willingly forgave the pup but the more he listened the more he began to understand what the Vixen was doing. though he was wrong to leave the caretaker he made a choice to be sure someone else was safe, a gesture Blue holds extremely valuable. She was also testing his assessment of the situation indirectly. He decided it best to let her finish before he spoke.

Blue smiled " It is Okay, though do not make this a frequent happening, Understood?" she said in a motherly tone.
Tomen Smile and perked his ears up " Don't beat yourself up over thinking your gonna get in trouble, as long as your Intentions are in the right place there is no need for us to be angry. " he said proudly

Ainsleigh, Ashleigh & Tatsu

Ainsleigh listened to Riker's tale, her angry hisses accentuated Blue's disappointment in Riker's decision to leave one he was responsible for behind; especially since it was Ashleigh. Although she wasn't going to say so outloud, but had Ashleigh been left alone in the wild and wouldn't return, the little jit would be spitted, roasted and eaten as just retribution for Ainsleigh's loss. She was not pleased with how easily Riker was let off, but she would respect his mother's right to deal with him in her way. Meanwhile, Ashleigh was safely with Ivy and her little covey playing with dolls and chasing one another around the room without a care in the world. The boys sisn't seem very interested in their game and so when she lost sight of them, they were all but forgotten. Tatsu had a more cunning idea and spoke clearly enough for all of them to hear. "Tomen, I am going to have to take Ashleigh on her first flying lesson tomorrow. Why don't you have Riker come by tomorrow to join her?" He asked, though the smile on his face made his visage more sinister than ever. He didn't forget the little apprentice as he handed her a 10 gold coin after she was finished. "Go share a few nummy treats with yer friends at lunch kiddo."

Blue sighed, "As for leavig Ashleigh that is another mater entierly..." she said glancing at Tomen as if she was communicating something. she could feel Ainsleigh's disapproval and concern riveting the air, but she knew a quarrel over children being irresponsible would get them nowhere, besides if she were to scold him about leaving the little one it would sound as if she was degrading the relationship between them. Where as she knew Tomen's ways of explaining things of that nature where far superior to hers, and trusted he would handle it

["Tomen, I am going to have to take Ashleigh on her first flying lesson tomorrow. Why don't you have Riker come by tomorrow to join her?" ]

Tomen nodded, " That sounds fine we will be there" He said glancing at Riker. Him and the little tike would have to have a talk later about leaving the little female behind, and he was sure Blue was leaving that to him as it wouldn't sound the same coming from her. He slipped the little apprentice a iron ore bangle studded with starlight Gems " I don't have gold ta tip ya, but that bangle there is iron ore and starlight gems, so they wont damage easily, and your metal working magic will help ya adjust the size. Besides it matches your scales perfectly" he said offering a kind smile.

[Forgot to ping]

Nina looked at Apollo. She smiled and couldn't help but think. Would she ever feel this way if she had her own kid? Would it feel the same or different? She asked herself
