Swiftcurrent Creek alone

Bazi's answer came in riddles, at least to the unintelligent Kesuk, who felt her lips pulled into a grimace of misunderstanding. However, the Beta had nothing more to add. Bazi would prove her word was true, or she would suffer the dishonour of lying to the Alpha and find herself thrown out. The former was a better outcome, and to that end, she could only hope the yearling wasn't playing them for fools.

Fox made clear Bazi would need to be cleared by Lecter. Deciding that was enough for her, the Beta fixed the yearling with a scrutinizing stare, then broke away, content to let the yearling seek the shaman in peace and finding no further interest in the exchange. She would seek the girl later, put her through her paces and determine her real worth, in time.
