Moonspear blood heat over tension

"It does," Rannoch reassured his friend. After all, without hunters and the bounty they provided, how would the pack survive? He did not dwell long on his thought, as Terance continued his dialogue with something that Rannoch had not expected. "Naturalists are also helpful to the pack," he replied, his mind quickly falling to Liffey and all that she had taught him. "Liffey, my, uh... friend," a gentle wash of scarlet radiated from the bridge of his nose at the mention of the Lambda, "is one, too!" In an attempt to keep his thoughts off of her, as he would find himself distracted otherwise, he continued, "she's told me a lot of stories about the stars and what lessons they provide us." Quickly, to further distance them from the subject of Liffey, he prompted, "do you know any stor--" But, as he began to ask, Terance suddenly cut him off. 

With Rannoch's attention redirected to the storage mechanism, he nodded to the fact and quickly committed it to memory. He was more than happy to change the subject and took no personal offense to the fact that Terance had interrupted as the information provided was important and he was eager for a distraction from Liffey. 

"Do we have many caches in Moonspear?" he asked, giving the pair of yearlings the final push to set aside the Naturalist-based conversation.
