Blacktail Deer Plateau the holiest of altars

Shall we bring this to a close?

Kaskara liked Junior. She was a pleasant pup, though a little pushy sometimes. She laughed at the girl's quickness to change emotions, though she wasn't judging her by any means. Kas missed the days of youth's simplicity, when all she had to worry about was who she was going to wrestle with that day, or whose food she was going to steal. Usually the answer to both was her brother, but in her later youth she was known to pick on the other pack pups, too.

The sound of approaching feet brought her back to reality, and she sheepishly decided she needed to leave. "Junior, tell your mother I brought you safely back from your adventure, and let her know I had to leave to find a den, but I will meet her one day soon. Okay?" Kas kissed the little girl on her forehead quickly and turned to leave, waiting only for Junior's assent before slipping into the bushes and out of sight.
