Swiftcurrent Creek The fury that eats me alive

Bazi met her friend's side of the tale with a silence and a stony, unblinking stare. It was as Danica had said, then, but Jace coloured in a number of details that only made things worse. The Sunspire was not a stable pack. In Swiftcurrent Creek, a mouthy upstart could be crushed instantly by the pack's many veterans - but on the mountain, they had a voice. She gave his poorly veiled passion for Leaf's well-being only brief thought - there would be time to unravel that thread later. For now, she thanked whatever fateful coincidence had brought the two wolves together - it seemed her capture was Jace's main reason for descending from his lofty home, and she was grateful for that.

"Then he can have her." The words slipped so easily from her mouth - like a sigh in the middle of the night. Jace paced like a caged animal. "But Fox is no longer here. It's true, Jace," Bazi had an embarrassing history of protecting the Creek's feisty little goblin of a wolf, but not now. Maera and Jökull's sweet little faces appeared before her again and again. What would it take to drive Ferdie to kidnap one of them? "Haunter died, and she just.. disappeared, without a word. It wasn't until Danica made it back from the Sunspire that any of us knew what was going on. Tuwawi is furious, Njal will side with her, the rest don't really speak their mind. Those that matter are just as sick of her antics as you are. And Ferdie," she grumbled as an afterthought.

@Jace After-edit! I want to give @Scimitar a chance to respond, so I will halt the posting now. ;)
