Shadow heard the queen talk and he looked up to see the queen standing behind him he turned his head and looked at the queen before greeting her. “Good evening your majesty” he said respectfully. Shadow slowly got up winching as weight was put on his wounded foot. He lowered his head in respect and spoke “Queen Lucaya, I am sorry for coming into your territory unannounced.” Shadow looks down to the ground in submission, showing that he was not a threat before his head came back up and he continued. “But I was patrolling when I caught the scent of a pup. I followed it, and I must not have realized that I crossed into your territory. I hope you forgive me.” shadow waited for the queen to respond, but the pain in his foot was getting too much and he had to sit down, and he spoke again. you asked me earlier if I was injured, normally, I would not tell someone if I was hurt, but I fell and twisted my paw and when I was walking and I hurt it. Shadow hated giving away his weaknesses to anyone even if it was an alpha of Hawthorne an ally who was an ally in the war. Jack curled his tail around his paw and waited for the queen to respond.
