Shadelight was thankful that this whole affair, in every sense of the word, had gone smoothly. High Noon wasn't resistant to just bringing the kids over herself and in fact seemed curious about the tri-pack operation going on in the area. On top of that, he had produced a seer on his first go around. If nothing else, maybe this one might prove less reticent about stepping up than Big Bad's daughter. Or at least be friends so the two can work together. He should have been pleased with himself, and he certainly looked the part the day they set forth to return to the Crows.
Inside, however, he didn't feel much except wariness. His initial introduction to the pups had gone normal enough, he supposed, though neither parent was exactly experienced in the matter. They had even had fun with their names, in a dark way: Dead, Dead, and Dead in all three. That was probably telling. Shadelight played the part of the father for now, though, as he began to lead them back home. Now was as good a time as any to see if any of the three had something to watch out for, before they got too big and tried to leave his watch...
You could never tell with these outsiders, after all.
"Anything happen while I was away?" he asked them as they walked, glancing down at the pups with a grin. "You didn't torment your mother did you?"
