these hands made of splinters

"No." Well then. Seemed she'd been sent out into the wilderness for nothing. No matter. She was back and they could all sleep more soundly for knowing one of theirs was able to return to the fold. If there was information she wished to divulge, he hoped she'd do so. But if there was nothing to share? "I hope you enjoyed your travels then." He certainly enjoyed his time away. It helped ease his natural inclination towards wanderlust.

From what she spoke of, it seemed as though she knew well enough of what had happened. Their rules held true. "No mercy for any wolf who tempts our borders." There would be no trifling with the Spine. No games or taunting. They would make themselves a force worth taking seriously. "We've expanded our patrols a bit. Watch the fields and the forest." With pups on the way, they were taking no chances.

As for the rest of packlife? Hmm. It seemed she'd been gone for the last pack meeting too. "Warrior and Warden skills are required. How are yours coming along?" As Tonravik's battle buddy, he had a feeling she did well in that regard, he just didn't currently know where she stood with them. He didn't know much about her at all.
