"I'll let her know," Caden said as he touched the unconscious fox's shoulder with a reassuring paw. He turned to Aiken and gave the stoat an informal salute. "Maybe I'll see you around, aye? Be careful chasing stories. Seems they'll chase you back sometimes." He nodded to the crossbow leaning...

Despite himself, Caden chuckled at Jeshal and Tanya's antics, then took a drink of his cider. Unfortunately that was when Tanya made her comment about "The Mountain", and he nearly spat out his mouthful. Coughing and laughing, he barely knew what Pomodu was asking of him at first, and he...

Leaning on the windowsill, Caden flicked broken glass from the fur on his arm. His ears flattened at the elder todd's threat and insults, but did not turn towards the beast. He saw their way out same as Alwyn--the cart parked in the alley below the other window would be a soft, if completely...

"Much appreciated." Caden nodded to the jerboa and carefully stood. He went to his bag and fished out a pouch of gilders. Upending the pouch on an open portion of shelf, he tilted his head towards the contents. "For supplies and services. Thank you again, Yfanti and Berchar." With a wince, he...

Caden returned Eirene's hug. He stepped further inside to allow Bezine and Eirene space to enter. "It's lovely to meet both of you. Thank you for coming. It's our pleasure to have you here, truly. I've been looking forward to this all week. And yes, my daughter Asta is just getting bread out of...

Caden looked from the desk to the old todd, to Alwyn, then to Daniil. He did not look away from the grey fox for several long moments. His paw that held his blade twitched. Blood was already seeping through the makeshift bandage on his right arm and running down to drip off his clawtips. What...

The door swung open to reveal Caden wearing a deep red button-down, the top two buttons undone, his sleeves rolled just above his elbows, and black dress trousers. A thin purple sash with interwoven gold thread was tied about his hips and hung down along his left side. The scent of freshly baked...

Grumbling halfheartedly, the intoxicated marten allowed himself to be helped up. He slung and arm around Eirene's shoulders, continuing to lean on her as he rambled. "Home and water sound good. Maybe tea. Asta makes a nice lavender and chamomile tea with honey. She grows the herbs, too. She's...

Caden shut his eyes and nodded as the doctor explained the next steps of the process to patch up his wound. "The offer stands," he said, referring to payment. "I'll at least give you what I have on me. It's the least I can--" Daniil's offer cut him off, and Caden cracked open an eye to watch as...

Caden took a breath to offer the young stoat an introduction at the Guard recruitment office when her vehement response cut him off. He raised his brows and took a drink of his ale. "Well," he offered as delicately as he could manage. "The Navy is certainly a viable option offered by the...

"All the traveling I've done, I've come to enjoy various levels of spice." Caden felt himself relaxing more heavily against Eirene. The catharsis of having confessed what weighted so heavily on him, and to have had her not only accept him but offer support, had brought on a state of deep...

Caden managed a pained shrug in Daniil's direction. He was not sure if the todd was attempting to cover for him or if Daniil wasn't fully out to his cousin, but now was not the moment to determine the intricacies of the interaction. He rotated his lower arm to get a better angle for pulling out...

"That's a good philosophy, I suppose," Caden offered. Then, more quietly, "It's nice to have somebeast who wants to try to help me be happy. I feel like having that kind of friend can be a rare thing." He reached over to pat her knee. "I want you to be happy, too, and Bezine and Morgan. Maybe...

Caden accepted the drink from Tanya, nodding at her offer. "I may take you up on that after a drink or two," he said quietly. Then he saw the book. It took him several moments to discern both Pomodu's words and what he was looking at. Despite his reservations about present company, he could not...

Caden glanced sidelong at the jill, finding it difficult to fully focus his vision. "Love doesn't scare me; it's the loss and tragedy that seems to inevitably follow loving somebeast that scares me." He sighed and leaned his head on her shoulder. "But maybe you're right. You've got some years...
