The village people can guess that actually aiming for Aylia would be politically bad. It still could be politically bad considering Chief Proudfoot had accepted Fang as Aylia's mate, therefor part of his own family. Aylia can tell that Whitewolf is beyond furious when he parts the crowd to rescue them. She stays right behind Fang until the get to the chief's house. "So what do we do now?," Aylia asks, sticking close to Fang. She's worried about how the gathering out there will effect him. She's guessing he would probably take up living in the woods pretty much.
