Neverwinter Forest if the high was worth the pain

Feel free to skip me as needed.

Good, she replied to Jorunn, smiling at him. He wasn't part of that rogue pirate pack, and while she didn't know anything about his leader, Kaskara was sure going to help Jorunn's pack if they were ever attacked. She didn't say this aloud, for she knew her brother wouldn't be pleased with her. Was she getting soft in her old age? Kas didn't see anything wrong with taking allies, as long as they were vetted and as completely behind the allegiance as they were. It had been hard enough to get him to see the merits of allying with Saena's pack, but that bond had proved itself worthy when their pack was destroyed and they were forced to seek asylum with the white and orange wolf.

Kaskara smiled as Jorunn's face lit up at the prospect of pups, and his words and voice matched that tone. I hope you'll visit them often. They'll be your cousins, after all. Adopted cousins, but Kaskara didn't see the difference. Once a wolf was part of her family, it would take a heinous crime to rid them of that bond. As far as she knew, Jorunn had joined another pack out of necessity, and hadn't done anything heinous. So he was still part of her family whether or not he lived with them. When Jorunn asked how Bazi and Scimitar's breakup had transpired, Kas fell silent, studying the two men before her.
