"Are you saying  I choose a task too simple for me ? " Akela asked and cocked an eyebrow.  "I could be a warrior too , for old time 's sake, but from what  I've noticed at your border...well... no one is really on watch there and the ancestors' knows that there is going to be a possible arrival of loners".  He licked his lips.  " Word on the wind is saying that the pack of the hoshor plains is no more. " he informed the alpha. He had been listening to birds words, he was always out for that kind of information, sometimes survival depended on it.

He looked down at his paws.  " It's tobacco. " he informed Burke.  " Eases the nerves and pain, keeps you awake... chewing this on the road allows you to cover long distances without rest.  Not the most healthy ... nice side effect, I sometimes see my ancestors spirits... they run in the shadows of the woods..."  he spit it out.  " Once you stop however...you get hella thirsty and are feeling over exhausted. I was looking for Celandine for my eye...but I found these..and ooh well, why not. All that can happen is me dying from it...but then again you said your wife is a skilled healer...if not the skilled healer"
