Convel left while the healer was finishing up, and Katja assumed that he was going to confront Koryn about what they had just discussed. She noted his responsiveness, and her ears twitched toward him as he left, appreciating that a task had been taken off of her plate so she could focus on resting. The Guard wasn't gone long, however; he had returned before the healer was finished placing herb-soaked leaves on her wound. When the healer disappeared moments later, leaving the Alphess alone in her den with Convel, Katja called the Pup guarding her doorway back inside.
"Caeldori," she called out assertively, and then she waited for the Pup to obey. When the little one scrambled inside, she looked over at her with a stern stare. "Why did you leave the camp this morning, Pup? You know that it is dangerous out there, and you could have easily been snatched up by another animal - wolf or not. You could have been killed." The Alphess allowed that last phrase to sit with Caeldori for a moment; she wanted the Pup to learn from this and never disobey like this again. Her orange eyes were piercing but stable. To Caeldori, she may be perceived as angry - and admittedly, she was frustrated that she had to babysit - but she wasn't actually mad. More than anything, she just wanted to get her point across.
