THIRTY-THREE:

Sometime later, Peyton sat with Kardan, who had said very little throughout the rest of the meal. Taking the position as observer to watch and learn the interactions between the adults. Unlike Wolf, who was pulled into several conversations with different groups, usually with Dinas or one of his brothers by his side.

Peyton turned toward Kardan as he told her. ‘They are making sure he wants to stay.’

‘Is it a possibility he will leave?’

He nodded and sighed. ‘I am afraid it is so. When he was stripped of everything, something changed within him. He will not discuss it with me. I think it is partly in fear and partly because he does not understand himself what has changed. Or perhaps he does not want to acknowledge the change. What I know, and our brothers will learn, is he is not the brother we knew.’

Peyton twirled a strand of hair as she watched Wolf. ‘I have a mission I am assembling, it means leaving home for luneras at a time.’

‘And you feel Wolf would be suitable for it?

‘Yes.’ She told him about the missions she was planning and how she thought Wolf would be ideal to lead one of them.

When she finished, he said. ‘It has possibilities. He could leave and come back, and would not feel guilt at his inability to remain on world.’

Peyton smiled as she nodded. The plan she was formulating took a giant step forward, especially if she could get Wolf on board. That was the only serious conversation for the rest of the night. Peyton and Kardan were not ignored for long and were drawn into several light-hearted conversations, where Peyton came into her fair share of teasing, much to everyone’s delight. Kardan was amused to see his mate held her own very well.

It was a pleasant evening where everyone ate too much and drank a little more than normal. Eventually, Kardan carried a very merry Peyton to bed.
