Noctisardor Bypass It's been a long day without you, my friend

Wildfire said nothing in response to Saena's observation. Raven would have been able to more accurately pinpoint the cause of death but she was miles away at the caldera. Sensing that her half-sister posed no threat, the youth let her gaze fall back to the decrepit cadaver. Saena spoke of just leaving him there to be devoured by scavengers. Wildfire winced a little.

"But he's so young," she said, not really protesting so much as pointing out something the other she-wolf might not have noticed. "What about his family? Shouldn't we try to find them and tell them what happened, so they can bury him or whatever? I don't know. I just feel bad." But perhaps Saena was right. They definitely shouldn't bury him themselves, in any case; then his family would never know what had happened to him.

Slowly, she stepped past the body, training more of her attention on Saena now. "I was just trying to check out the east some more when I found him. Do you live around here? I thought Reek said your pack was further north." But she wasn't at all familiar with her surroundings and didn't necessarily have her bearings, especially in the dark, so maybe she was much more north than she realized.
