"I'll admit that living in the wilds with a pack does make life simpler, even if it is more work," Fendros added. He reached his hand out to place it over Ahnasha's and gave her a reassuring smile, before turning to Ciinriel. "Whatever we do, the priority will be with raising the children. Until then, it is all in the hands of fate."

Janius nodded in agreement. He was glad that Ahnasha and Kaleeth's demonstrated differences did not erupt into an argument. He suspected that would be deferred into the future if it came to the pack splitting up due to competing interests. Janius did not look forward to that possibility.

Fendros looked to Janius and Kaleeth while Janius was paused for thought. "Did you have any particular spots in mind to live, if you get to choose?" Fendros asked.

It took a moment for Janius to snap out of his thoughts, so Kaleeth had the opportunity to answer first.
