Swiftcurrent Creek local natives

Fox had been keeping herself busy with the normal duties of a leader. The load was no longer lightened by a co-leader, but she did have faith in the members of her pack who remained. She was less-satisfied with the young newcomer who could not have been much younger than Bones. Fox had observed her from afar, and she was uncertain if Ferdie would have to end her life. As cruel as it sounded, Fox had no tolerance for those who could not pull their own weight.

And, speaking of Bones, Fox caught sight of the young girl up ahead, and thought fondly of her. She'd not had a chance to chat since she had spoken to Perry about his niece, and Fox was curious as to why the girl had not told her about the rather close relatives she had at the plateau. Perhaps it had just not come up in conversation. “Hey, Bones,” she greeted warmly, her tail wagging and her stance relaxed.
