War of lies

“Those jobs are the most important,” Jinx said when Sitri and Erika exchanged words, “but that doesn't mean the others are without use. A Naturalist has particular worth in the mountains, and my own mate is a Healer.” All jobs were important, but Jinx would be lying to herself and both others if she claimed they were all equal. It was true that a Naturalist would be useful on the mountain, but if she had lived anywhere else, the black-toed Alpha would have claimed that particular trade was useless.

“For fighting technique, we will instruct you. You are not required to fight offensively for Silvertip Mountain but should its defence be required, all will be expected to rise to the occasion.” Jinx would, of course, be at the forefront of any defensive endeavour, primarily because she was a trained Warrior and in part because she enjoyed being in the middle of a fight, with heart pounding and blood rushing and adrenaline flooding through her.
