Phantom Hollow Sneaky Sneak

The mottled brown and black wolf couldn't fathom what Judas meant by a "special welcome," but knowing it was Veritas she had to assume it was nothing good. Good thing I joined when I did, Mitanni mused with relief. She wouldn't have liked being on the receiving end of the healer's warm welcome to the pack. It seemed a wonder to her then that Judas had joined at all.

She hadn't been sure the green-eyed male would agree to show her exactly what she should be doing, but when he did her amber eyes lit up. Good! She needed the practice, needed any help she could get to perfect her skill, and with Judas on her side she was one step closer to becoming a Ranger and finally feeling like a full asset to the pack. "Of course," she agreed to locating water, nodding her head in agreement and understanding, and without another word she turned and strode into the Hollow.

Moving at an easy trot, Mitanni guided Judas toward the river that cut through the forest and acted as the pack's main source of water. The distance was relatively short, so they arrived in due time. The petite wolf slowed and stopped beside it, still feet from the edge, and watched the water a moment before redirecting her attention to Judas expectantly. "Water, like you asked," she stated, stamping down her impatience to learn. Judas would teach her, he'd said he would, but only at his pace.
