Whitefish River and finish all that we needed to say

Slowly, she had been settling back in to pack life. Chai knew that Kaistleoki would be a far cry from the suffocating constraints of Shadewood. Still, it took time for the young female to adapt, to fully embrace the change. She was still wary...timid. Aside from Evergreen, Liri, she really knew none of these wolves. She had seen some in passing. @Vonnaruil she had only met briefly at the borders, and @Tobi she had chatted with once. Aside from that, they were complete strangers.

With a mental wince, unseen on the surface of her face, she recalled how distant...how preoccupied everyone in Shadewood seemed. Had it been her fault because she hadn't put forth enough effort? She dismissed the question away with a shake of her head. Not this time. This time it'd be different. 

Brimming with energy (partially thanks to frazzled nerves) Chai tracked down the scent of her nearest pack mate. To her surprise...they weren't alone. Mingled with it was the telltale scent of sheep. Hearing the call, she rushed forward to meet Fern, eager to help as always. Normally she would have paused to take in the wolfdog's curious appearance, but the two sheep...a ewe and a yearling, were headed for her. Swallowing, she tried to think quickly. With a bark, she fell in line beside them. Maybe she thought, if she could just sandwich them between her and Fern, they'd have a shot.
