Rising Sun Valley the power of voodoo (discovery)

It seemed Pied and Fox hadn't spent long together. That wasn't surprising to the Gamma, who knew Fox to be a woman of action rather than one of words. The pair had yet to have a meaningful conversation, though it was Jinx's opinion that the moral support hadn't been meaningful. Perhaps to Fox, it had meant a lot.

"I didn't leave the Ridge to follow her," she admitted when Pied finished, sharing a brief, candid glance with the female as though to say she understood where the concern came from. "Fox was nothing but a pack wolf a few weeks ago. I came to follow Lethe, an old friend of my father's, but Lethe took it upon herself to follow the creek's siren song to her death." Jinx believed it was because of the Gods, but decided that neither Atka nor Sos had any part in their conversation. She hoarded knowledge of them to herself, these days.

"She stepped up in Lethe's place. I chose to remain because she has proven herself to know us well, and seems capable enough." Fox was also young and no doubt foolish, but that opinion came from an equally foolish and not-so-young wolf whose views were almost always biased. Even if Pied shared the thinking that such a young wolf couldn't know the proper ways to lead a pack, Jinx never would have said she agreed out loud. She remained regardless, standing vigil over Lethe's pack so that the Gods would still look down upon them favourably.
