Greatwater Lake spice and wolf

Evidently, this lake was a local watering hole, in the social sense. Wildfire made note of that. Taltos mentioned children. She was a child herself, so pups didn't interest her particularly, not like they might with a fellow parent anyway. Had they not hailed from enemy packs, these faceless youths could have been her friends, though that wasn't likely to happen and Wildfire didn't ask about them.

"She doesn't leave home much and doesn't like talking to strangers," Wildfire explained, "although she's quiet, even around family. It's not really personal." She glanced at her sister, who had paused in her explorations to face the two, a bit of a sheepish look on her face. Wildfire motioned for her to continue, mouthing, You're fine, at her even more introverted sibling.

"I met Saena here," she said next, picking up on the prior topic, "and I saw Dante here the other day too. I'd already met him before. Neither of them are huge fans of our parents but they didn't do me any harm. Heck, I think I might even be able to call Dante a friend. I'm glad my parents were wrong about the northern wolves."
