Grouse Thicket said something dumb like "i'm tired of running"

Huh. He said softly, genuinely interested in the way things had worked for the stranger. Moose supposed she was rather lucky to have just run into a bunch of her family. Glad things turned out so positive for you. The words were spoken with a soft grin. The wolfdog knew he wouldn't be that lucky but there was no harm in hoping he could find something just as nice.

Figure if everyone's as kind as you, it would be a good place to be. The words were spoken before he paused to give a quick scratch as an ear, trotting a bit faster to keep up.
