Silvertip Mountain A New Meeting

Cho had a point - why would she have mentioned it first off? Still, it was something to work on. FitzDutiful wondered how Zaria would react to the female, he knew her well enough to know Zaria didn't take well to those that seemed cowardly. Still, she knew the family motto and respected it well enough - he wouldn't have made her beta if he disn't trust Zaria to accept and work with his decisions.

Cho was into the idea of trades it seemed, asking him about more of them and FitzDutiful gleefully replied. He loved learning and loved to know his family were bettering themselves. "I'll run through them all, so don't mind if I repeat myself," he offered a fair bit of warning before launching in.

"There's the physical trades - gamekeeper, warrior, warden. Gamekeeper is all about hunting and providing food, finding herds and make sure we can survive the tough times. Warrior is offensive fighting, being able to come up with tactics to launch attacks whereas Warden is the counter to that and is in charge of defence of the pack lands. I recommend all wolves have some training them fighting, even if they don't take one as a trade."

He let that sink in before moving on.

"Then there's more exploration trades - outrider, naturalist. A naturalist studies the plants, skies, stars, land; anything to do with nature really and determines how it affects us. An outrider deals with messages between us and other packs and goes out to recruit others too."

He paused to recall all the others.

"We also have some social trades - counsellor, chronicler, healer and caretaker. A counsellor, does as it says on the tin really - counsels wolves and tries to help with their problems. A chronicler is a storyteller, some specialise in stories of the packs history whereas others go more morality. Healers heal and take care of the injured and caretaker's look after the elderly and the puppies of the pack."

FitzDutiful was finished, he laughed; "There's quite a lot, something for anything, though three is the maximum I allow any wolf to officially dedicate themselves too."
