Greatwater Lake spice and wolf

Even as the words sprang from her tongue, it occurred to her that sharing their homeland but not their names was sort of silly and moot. But Wildfire didn't get a chance to feel stupid for very long because Taltos's response caught her off guard. Her lips parted, only to press together a second later. It was a thing of the past, clearly, and she wasn't sure she could handle another wolf declaring his hatred for her parents. She was still recovering from Saena's outburst. She didn't ask any of the questions that sprang to mind.

Anyhow, he sidetracked her with a question instead. "I'm a Naturalist, Warrior and Outrider apprentice," she said, a touch of pride in her tone, though her demeanor remained humble. "That's why we're here. I've been to this lake a few times and I wanted to show her." Her gaze flicked to Raven, who had begun to scout along the nearby shoreline again, then back to Taltos. "I keep running into my parents' old pack mates here for some reason." It was kind of strange, actually.
