The Heartwood drifting somewhere between map and maelstrom

he knows she means that it is good that the lands are cold and there is no threat of rekindling a fire in the heartwood that could potentially spread ...but wintersbane is a cynic and thinks that, irregardless, there is nothing good about it at all. fire ravaged land meant less prey in the area ...and while there has yet to be a shortage of prey nor lands for them to roam and graze in, he knows winter has only just begun and it's a concern to him nevertheless. it would have it's effect, regardless of how small, despite it might not've effected any pack directly ( and maybe it had, he isn't real sure ).

grezig. offering his name wasn't really wintersbane's thing. he likes to keep an air of mystery around himself: an enigmatic lure. it's not a secret, really ...and names have never really met to him what they mean to other's. he's had so many of them now. wintersbane is special; a rare circumstance to his general disregard of ( his own ) names. it was given to him by lotte as an affectionate nickname as a wee cub. he bears it as his name to keep her memory with him. it feels more personal and more fitting to him than roarke ever would.

wintersbane. the dark brother supplies simply.
