Silver Creek Part Three: Fish Breath

Cortland neither listened nor took her word, but thankfully Casmir backed her up -- the child didn't rebel, but Grace could practically feel his need to explore it. Water was lovely -- the only place she could move normally -- and even a food source or healing aide to those who knew how to use it, but unfortunatley in the Winter it brought sickness, too. A dunk in such cold water could pose a serious threat to even an adult wolf.

                 "When the Winter is over, I'll teach you how to fish and swim, 'kay?"

She smiled at him at the promise, fully intending on teaching him when or if he wanted to come Spring. By then, not only would he be older, she would be a more trusted pack member.
