Hushed Willows hammer out the details

For anyone she hasn't interacted with in a while! @Trick or @Teagan maybe?

With the messengers return, Tavi had a lot to process. Reek's level of knowledge was at a point that made her uncomfortable, suggesting that he could track her down all the more easily - he just needed to seek out her scent, and try to identify one of her subordinates through the trees. He'd have to do the search on his own though, as nobody else in the grotto would know what to look for. Maybe she was overthinking this? But it was all for the sake of Tambourine. The boy had to remain safe, and for that to happen Octavia would need help. She knew she couldn't rely on Nova Rose for anything anymore - and Stark was forfeit, which was why he had been delegated the task of being Tambourine's shadow.

That left... Someone else. But the names of the other wolves slipped her mind. It was frustrating to think that her time within her den had severed her connections so thoroughly, but it had. Octavia didn't know the territory as she needed to, or the wolves living within it. Today was her attempt at remedying things. She left Tambourine in the care of Stark, and then ventured out of the crook for a long overdue bit of exploration.

She avoided the fringes of the landscape where she had once slept beneath the trees. The borders did tempt her though, so briefly Octavia visited them, sniffing and searching; she noticed that they had been refreshed recently but she couldn't identify the specific wolf who had done the job. With a shift of her body she deviated along her path until a silhouette came in to view, then called out to them, Hey, got a sec? Whoever it was, she had a job for them.
