Nocturne Summit should they catch us and dispatch us.

Fellway, still childless, did as much mindless exploring as he damn well pleased - and urge to wander showed no signs of loosening its grip on his heart.

He spotted Finley from his perch in the mountains, and assessed her for all of 3.5 seconds before making his approach. This was the first wolf he had seen in days, and Fellway was desperate for interaction with something that wasn't a squirrel. It was all nuts and trees with those guys - extremely tedious after the first hour of stilted chatter.

"Ohaaay-ooo!" the broad Arctic wolf greeted in the most camp voice ever to exit a mouth, making his way down and into view with much noise and tail-waving. A second little lady had joined the first, but Fellway was too busy not breaking a leg to notice just yet.
