Discernment was something Kaertok had lacked during his short stay on the beach, but it had been a good learning experience. That had only been a small blip in his life, so he liked to think that yes, in general, he possessed discernment. The second one was an obvious one, yet again something he had failed to do with the coastal pack. Once again, he did not blame himself for that. That pack was doomed, as far as he could tell.

The question asked was one Kaertok had thought long and hard about, so the answer came easily. A strong, smart leader. Pack mates who work well together. The coastal pack had been none of those things, and Kaertok knew he didn't want a repeat of that.
