Swiftcurrent Creek local natives

Fox had been quick to judge Atticus, despite having never met him. Part of her personal code was no bastard children, and Atticus had been the direct cause of at least one. To Fox, it was a miracle Bones had not been killed at birth. Not because she had done anything wrong, but because her parent(s) had been irresponsible. Fox had yet to go through her own heat cycle, but she knew from her older family that one could keep their hormones in check if they had half a brain.

"He hasn't had the chance because he doesn't deserve one," thought Fox, though she kept that thought to herself. Bones seemed pretty torn up about a guy she barely knew, going so far as to say she loved him. Fox thought it was absurd and unnatural. The creek was Bones's family now, could she not see that?

“Why doesn’t he come live in the creek?” she suggested. He was Perry's brother, sure, but perhaps he had more reason to be here, with his daughter, than under his brother's rule.
