Moonspear Out Of My Comfort Zone

Feel free to make up whatever you want Judas to find in the cache! :)

Floki nodded, the corner of his lips twisting upward in a wry smile. Judas had a point; the herds would return, but no one could predict just how long that would take. They would have to do their best to hold out until then.

His packmate's question was welcome. He was glad to know that it had been on Judas' mind; he should have taken him to Thistle's cache sooner, but his roving paws had gotten in the way. "Yeah, it was my mom's," he confirmed. It felt odd to refer to her in past tense, and he felt a pang in his chest as he wondered where she was. Had he been more religious, he might have prayed to the viking gods to keep her safe -- but instead, he simply wished her well.

"It's this way," he said, gesturing for Judas to follow him. He led his companion up the slope, picking his way slowly and carefully along the rocky terrain. After a few minutes of quiet travel, they reached a shallow cavern, its contents shaded from the sun. "I'm not sure what all she has in there..." he said, stepping aside so that Judas could enter.
