Back in time for lunch

"Girls, you need to stay behind and watch what the humans are doing. I will send dragons to pick you up when possible, but it might take a while. Will you be alright on your own?"

The Beehounds nodded immediately. They even looked a bit offended.

"Of course, Father. We even have supplies you told everybody to take just in case," Hound-Solo said, patting the bag hanging from her shoulder. "It will be good."

She shared a small smile with her sisters, probably being eager to stay in the wilderness on their own instead of returning to a noisy hive.

'Adorable!'

I wanted to pat their heads, but held myself back.

'Unlike some of my cold-to-get daughters, Beehounds might *actually* don't like this…'

I still smiled at them.

"Then go, and good luck, Beehounds. The rest—we will continue on our way."
