Hideaway Strath Tell it on the mountain

He could've answered the question - she'd offered him a lot of information and it would be wise to return the favor - but then she began to explain further, and he learned how wrong he really was about this area. There were multiple packs all around, mostly to the west, which made him suddenly thankful for the curving mountain range that blocked his chosen home off from the rest of the hinterlands. Still, Tulimaq wasn't eager to talk about his solo venture upon the cliffs of Boartusk; he might've claimed it for himself but he had no followers, not yet. So he didn't answer that part - choosing to focus on the rest of what she'd mentioned.

Rosings, and the Shadewood, he murmured, committing the details to memory. These were good things to know. If these wolves were trying to settle then they'd be competition. Bat's family would take care of them if they came too far north or east, Tulimaq presumed, so he need not worry about resources yet. Perhaps I'll track them down myself - and pop by this plateau you speak of. Tell me, are your family members warriors? Have you ever seen combat..? If these wolves were anything like the rest he'd encountered, perhaps it would be better for him to cast aside his concept of an idealized base of operations.
