Sawtooth Spire Why So Serious

I was thinking Tat could leave with @Aariak. That okay with you Anthony?

Right off the bat, Sitamat began to shrink into his mother's touch. Tatsuya couldn't blame the whelp; all of them – from polar bear to wolverine – were unforeseen developments. Bad enough to take in the world around them, but now they got hulking wolves to worry about too. Not wishing to infringe himself upon the tubby cub, the wolverine stopped and waited.
The pup didn't keep him waiting long, neck extended, wet nose sniffing away. Smell something, did he? Gee, I wonder what it is. Glancing back revealed that the pile of grub he had lain out minutes ago has since lessened in its pulpy heap to nonexistent. That was fast. Out the corner of his eye laid a halcyon Pingasut. The fox's stomach bulged, seeming to teeter on busting. Despite his underhanded tactics earlier, the sight of him now warmed his heart.
The Delta also noticed how Nanuk and Echelon have dismissed themselves. Considering how generally uncomfortable they were among Iqniq and Tonravik's brood, their absence came as no surprise. Tatsuya did not understand why they left so soon. Pups were pups; they were one of them now. Before long they would contribute. In the meantime, the adults had opportunities to impart their worldly knowledge on these babes. Be it fighting, hunting, healing, etcetera – they'd not be left wanting. They needn't share blood for love to take root.
Tatsuya frowned as his eyes settled on Sitamat. “Sorry Sitamat. I'm fresh out.” Sparing any more would be cutting it awfully close. There was an emptiness in his stomach that needs filling. He looked to his snow cloaked pack mate Aariak. Perhaps the Inuit would offer Sitamat something to eat?
