Blacktail Deer Plateau i was lightning, before the thunder

Grayday was concerned by the boy's presence. What had happened at Easthollow to scatter her children so far? This was his most pressing concern, for the moment.

"Pleased to meet you, Burr. I'm Day. I used to live at Easthollow with Valette, Keoni, and Nikai," said Grayday, choosing the names of those he felt most likely to stick around. "We'll see what we can do to set your paw right, and when you can travel - and when the weather allows it - we'll walk you back to Easthollow. But tell me - did something happen? How did you come to be so far from home?"

He wondered who the boy's parents were, and whether Dawn would mind very much if he sent her out again to give Easthollow a message. For now, he shot his daughter a calming look; he knew she might feel slighted by his ignoring her question, but he felt they ought to get the boy out of their hands before he got into the details.

This in mind, he tipped back his head and howled for Easy, figuring her presence might help to set the boy at ease. Besides, he'd need help getting to the rendezvous site.

"I've called for my daughter to come and help you to somewhere you can rest. She'll show you where you can eat and drink," he said to the boy.

Easy will probably just cameo next round to show Burr where to go, if all goes well.
