Swiftcurrent Creek I long to be loyal

Bazi nodded, recalling her own origins as the pair began to walk towards the sound of the creek. "We did everything as a close unit; you could call a meeting by clearing your throat. Things are more scattered here, but I'm getting used to it." She stopped, thrust her nose into the undergrowth, and breathed in. The scent was weak here, and the female motioned for Jace to deal with it whilst she looked into the distance.

"He sounds like a firecracker. Young, or just an ass?" That reminds me. "There's a guy called Haunter, too - I forgot. He's .. a bit out there. Stares a lot, one ear." Kind of cute, in an outsider sort of way. A few moments passed in silence whilst Bazi pondered what else she could share with the newcomer - Björn, or the Vale? Björn was a personal issue, but the Vale wasn't black and white either. Whatever she chose, she would have to weed the bias out of the delivery. "Have you met anyone from the Vale?" the youth asked finally. "There's been a bit of tension - between individuals," she was quick to point out, "About hunting on the plains on this side of the mountain. I don't think there's anything to get dramatic about, really, there'll be plenty of prey in spring and in the winter we can reassess, but I thought you should know. I wouldn't give them any attitude if they're just scouting or gathering supplies, but keep an eye out for organized hunts, large groups, or strange behaviour." Bazi punctuated with a nod; those were things to look out for even if tensions weren't already on the climb. As far as she knew, Jinx was the only wolf to have exchanged heated words with the Vale so far - Fox was just cautious. "And call for reinforcements straight away if you spot anything."
