Birdsong is here at last and more than welcome. Knox strolls the territory feeling, for a moment, lighter. His burdens are behind him. He hears the birds in the trees and forgets the sorrow of the year he is slowly putting behind him.

Time, though, is as fickle as memory. He patrols uselessly, wanders endlessly, and as soon as it becomes clear to him that he has no real reason to be moving about he becomes restless and his mind begins to wander. Wander to the end of things, to the loss he has suffered, and to the pain, that pain, and the end.

Though perhaps he'll never realize it, Knox is lucky to have a father as good as Roanne. It's only moments after the distraction of the past begins to overtake the hunter that he is relieved, and under the safe cover of his cloak he takes on the Sentinel's silken form.

{Roanne:} Be stull, my chuyuld. The old ruler of the mystic woodlands coos, his inner voice a lullaby to the son he could never hold close. And Knox is too broken, too readily exhausted by the prospect of facing the death and abandonment of his beloveds, to resist. Let Roanne be the strong one and relish the Birdsong day; the hunter will rest in soft silence.

Spurred by the same sense of duty that Knox uses to distract himself, Roanne weaves through the open wood until he finds a path that his descendant recognizes as one traveled by the Mountain that Knows. Perhaps the Sentinel misses his days of glory as a herd lead, and handing out assignments and rewarding the skilled is something he's trying to relive. Perhaps he simply wants to feel that Dragon's cold touch one more time.

Whatever the reason, he finds himself uncloaked and lying in wait for the clever mare. He's not sure what she chose to do with her prize but he's proud of how she earned it, and if he can convince her to use such skills for the good of the herd, well... who is he to shirk such a noble duty?
