Skipping and exiting Burr with Chelsie's permission

Easy came along quickly enough, and after a quick set of instructions from her father, was happy to help Burr toward the rendezvous site, where he would be able to find someplace to rest and (hopefully) something to eat.

As soon as they were out of earshot, Grayday turned back to Pema, Aditya, and Dawn and began to speak in a low voice. "A few days ago, a shewolf tresspassed and ran into Lavender. She's okay - but when I got there, she had Lav in her jaws. I attacked, and she took out my eye and bolted while I was disoriented," he explained, keeping the explanation as simple as possible. "There's another healer here, now. Hopefully the two of you can learn from each other, Pema. But she did what she could for Lav's wounds. It's just a couple bites on her shoulders, I think. Still... it was terrifying."

He gave a restrained shudder, not wanting to bring on the headaches that came with jarring his head. "So - what happened? Are you guys alright?" he asked, turning and gesturing them deeper into the territory. There were headed to the pack's most recent kill - not much was left, but the three would surely be able to take the edge off their hunger, if they needed to.
