Swiftcurrent Creek soft buzz · pack meeting

They arrived, though Fox had been so disinvolved with many of the newcomers she could not say who was missing and who was not. She believed she recognized all but one, though to be honest, it was totally possible she had met the girl before. Njal, Tuwawi, and Bazi were obviously easily recognized by the young leader. Then there was the couple who had arrived together at her borders, along with the strapping young lad who had come along around the same time. Even if a large chunk of the pack was missing, she had no doubt that her word would spread quickly.

“Ferdie and Jace are no longer with us. They were a danger to the pack,” Fox said, addressing the small crowd that had gathered. “I will not tolerate senseless violence among my followers.” She paused, looking over the group and briefly wondering what they thought of her decision. “They are to be treated as outsiders. Nothing more, nothing less. If they trespass, they will receive the same treatment as any outsider. If you meet them on neutral ground, what you do with them is your own prerogative.” There was no reason to bring more harm to themselves, and she really did not care what it was those two decided to do with themselves. But she could not have them here.
