Jade Fern Grove home grown and a little hideous

Bazi didn't really know what to say to that. Scimitar was usually the one to bring in the stragglers these days - Bazi was content with the core of loyal wolves that had been there since the Swiftcurrent days. Haven was actually turning out to be quite pleasant, if a little overly-enthusiastic, but she did not share this with her son. Little did Bazi know that he would soon be taking a Pasha-sized dump on the pack's relationship with the new recruit.

"Numbers, I guess. 'Filler wolves'," she replied with a shrug, and gave the boy's flank a little nudge. "It takes time for puppies to grow up and fill the ranks with real family - so hurry up! We need you big and strong so that you can look after the next litter." Whilst it seemed obvious that there would be a next litter, Bazi could not yet imagine being close enought to Scimitar for that to happen. Their relationship was still strained, and she did not know how to fix it.
