Blackfeather Woods Following the Trail

It was good to hear Mawk's resolve, and Howl was prepared to enter into Blackfeather Woods territory, guns blazing as it were. But sadly it didn't seem like that would be the case. As the two parents began to sniff around it didn't seem as though they would need to look far to find Burr's remains. Cebra cried out as she pulled her sons body from the earth. Both parents puking from the sight, smell, and moral standing of the situation. 

The shear sight of the boys remains made Howl feel sick, though not enough to cause him to puke. Attempting not to show disgust, and to show respect, Howl sat beside the boys body and beside Cebra with his head bowed and eyes closed. Even though Howl hadn't meet Burr he still felt for the young boy and his parents. He felt anger to the wolves that would do this, and wished for them to face their punishment. 

He wished he could confort Cebra, as she was taking this the worst, but didn't know how under the circumstances. He hope she and Mawk would overcome this inital feeling of guilt and pain. So that they might decide what to do next. Would they want to go back to Easthollow? To try and find the one who had done this? To bring Burr back with them? He thought these questions in his mind and not a loud.
