Greatwater Lake spice and wolf

"Strange," Wildfire said quietly when Taltos provided further details. It sounded like there were two dangerous packs nearby: the one he was describing and then the one she and Dante had spied on the other day. She couldn't even remember if the silver wolf had mentioned its name. But they lived in some dark and dreary woods, whereas the pack Lasher spoke of appeared to reside on the plains.

"What does that mean? Tainted?" Wildfire asked. She knew the word, sort of, but she couldn't imagine how it applied. What had they done to the rabbit carcass to make it poisonous? Even as she wondered, she glanced over at Raven. Something clicked in her head and she called, "Rave, come over here and listen to this..." And the taller, darker youth trotted to stand beside her, shyly pointing her face in Taltos's direction even as Wildfire's golden eyes rested on his ocher features.
