Believe him or not, Jaystride didn't really care. "You're free to keep looking, bud. I'm not going to stop you, but I can't guarantee anyone'll want you back if you're more focused on chasing ghosts than being a part of our Clan."

It was Fleakit's call. He was old enough to make his choice - and Jaystride would take him to the border if he decided to value Dogbark over rejoining.
