When she finally returned to her bedroom, Elias was in bed, reading a report as he waited for her. "Found your way back I see."
She shrugged off the thick brown bathrobe and climbed into bed. "I was not lost, I was talking to my brother. He is nervous about starting high school."
Elias raised an eyebrow. "Nervous" Hmph. He should be. The Glory academy is brutal. If he fails....let's just say he should not fail. I will keep an eye on him. If he is bullied, I will handle it."
Sienna sent him an appreciative glance. "Thank you Elias. Why the kindness though? I would expect you to tell him to man up or something. You know...the tough love you give Eli."
Without looking at her he replied, "Eli is the heir of the fox clan leadership, so he has to grow up fast and strong. He cannot afford to show weakness or fail at school. Your brother is one of thousands or millions of ordinary falcons in existence."
She snorted. "He could be the future falcon lord for all you know."
