The Sylph brothers stood when she asked. They looked at each other and frowned. Then turned back to Star and said, " I believe she suggested a later time to come back. But not a specific time." Ender stated.
Spyro offered, "I can't go find her, if it pleases you, Princess."
Falkirk was hoping he hadn't inconvenienced Sonya. "We could go find her together, if you wish, Princess Star. That way if it is time, there will not be any further delays." He replied softly.

Graydon understood that. "Plus you can't be sure that they don't have a young hid somewhere. It's smart to take the males. It also ensures genetic diversity." He said with conviction. He'd heard Luis speak of the last part often enough. It was very important to his experiments.

Keira smiled and nodded. She then glanced away submissively, "When there was a functioning hierarchy within our packs. The dogma of the maned wolf society, was very strict and ritualistic. I was just a small pup then. But I believe now, that's part of why it fell. We become easy to identify. We had to abandon all of our heritage and scatter to the winds. Never to see pack mates again. If we had adapted your ways, maybe the defection would not have been needed. I've asked your twin, but I feel I must also ask you. May I join with your pack/family?" She said with respect.

"I'm glad we saved him. It would have been a tragedy if he had died. He has known nothing but clinical trials and pain. He knew no better and now he does. He is lucky to have you to guide him and teach him all he has been deprived." He said with pride in Jackie's gentle nature. He then looked back at the cottage like house and smiled. " You're the most caring female I've ever met. You do good with damaged souls." He teased mildly.

"Then it's the mountains. I'm sorry our journey to the city will have to be put off. I know you were looking forward to finding your uncle." Nektar said. He felt remorse thst Angela's search had been interrupted. He focused on the task ahead and headed for the distant mountains.
