Sun Mote Copse mention our ghosts, our knotted spines

fluff participation post is garbage fluff.

Mato does not know it, but by assuring Delight that he does not need trades upon entry, it also calms the worries Seabreeze had.  He had to know she had no trades yet, but she wished to be able to contribute something to the trade-oriented pack.

She studies Delight carefully, continuing to let Mato speak.  Although this is her pack too, he is the crown, the king, the head of it all and she wishes not to get in the habit of undermining and speaking in his stead.  She expects no rank of value when they form because she has no trade of her own.  But she wonders what the dark boy will choose; such a tight, contemplative creature.
