~RETH~
With the need for more guards, each with a closer relationship with Elia, Reth decided it was a good day to review the training up in the high clearing. He'd been meaning to catch up with Behryn's troops all summer, but now it was vital that they choose guards who would not only be committed to Elia's safety, but who were unafraid of true battle if the wolves—or possible intruders—chose to attack.
He timed his arrival to walk into the field just after the late afternoon's session began.
Catching sight of him as he stepped out from the trees, Behryn called all the trainees to attention, and to the man, they knelt, with fists over chests until he'd walked through all of them to join his best friend.
"At ease," Reth called, allowing the men to take their feet again and relax while he caught up with Behryn.
"To what do we owe this honor, Sire?" Behryn said with a grin.
