Wheeling Gull Isle and wildlings will run from you

Tapat was often around Hemlock's den. Not to check up on her or anything, but because it was familiar. The pup often followed her around as she made him feel like he was helpful. Now, however, Hem wasn't coming out of the den. She got lots of visits from others and even brought her things. She scented differently as well, along with weird noises.

After the repetition of seeing wolves bring her things, Tapat decided that he should bring her something as well. He often relied on other wolves to hunt, but when instinct overruled him he sometimes made a kill. The boy returned proudly with a vole. He went back to Hemlock's den, as it was custom to him to show her what he had done.

He came closer to the entrance and let out a muffled whine to let her know he was there. He put his head inside hesitantly, showing her he brought her something. Would that be the secret password to get in and see what she was doing inside of the den all the damn time?

Researched: "Voles are excellent swimmers. Species of voles that live near the water can survive periodical tides and flooding thanks to the ability to swim. Voles can also dive." So I assume they can make it to the island. xD
