Swiftcurrent Creek death brings life · pack meeting

next round will start on thursday the 27th.

Fox was relieved to see that Jinx was the first to arrive. Her warning was met with a look of understanding and a nod of her head. Fox did not believe in leaders who were weak, and she was not about to change her religion now that she was the one who could not be weak. The others filed in, with only Sol speaking among the remaining. Most communication between the group was done with body language, which suited Fox just fine. She was used to it, considering her brain tended to think of words much slower. The horrid-smelling wolf arrived, causing Fox's stomach to gurgle in distaste, but she managed to keep her breathing at a steady pace and her lunch where it belonged.

If anybody was missing, Fox did not have time to wait around forever.

“Lethe is gone. More precisely, she is dead.” Fox was less than eloquent when it came to speaking, which would become apparent to those who did not know it already. “That does not mean that our lives stop. Jinx and Njal, I want you on border patrol. Both of you are fighters.” She gave the two of them a glance as she said their names. “Clarice, you were searching for herbs the other day, so I presume you know a thing or two about medicine. If anybody is to be injured, they should go to you.” Fox wanted to make it clear what their jobs were. Keeping them busy would keep their minds off the loss of Lethe, and hopefully it would make them stronger as a pack to have defined roles. “Solène, you can work to keep our reserves full. Seek help from others if you need it.”

Aethon was not addressed, for he had plenty of things to learn about. His only job was to soak it all up from the others. But there was one she had not addressed. The one who did not even have a name to her. “You,” she said, looking pointedly to the shaman, “What is your name, and how can you contribute?” If he had no answer, Fox had no use for him. She was oblivious to his relations with the other wolves, even though he sat close to Clarice.
