Lost Creek Hollow Everyone has

AW for reals! Backdated a few days.  Tags can be for ref, I can PP you tiny nerds.

One of the problems with Terance being gone was that she was left on her own to do both leadership things and pup care but she'd relied on a few of the others to help out for short periods, not really wanting to inflict them on anyone in particular for an extended period.  So today she'd try something different and decided to herd the trio along with her for a small chunk of the borders just to make sure they knew how it worked.  It was kind of a gloomy day, and hopefully an unexciting one, as the three would probably keep things interesting enough for her. 

Arbiter's pace slowed, and she woofed to make sure to get their attention.  Up ahead is the borders. You can smell them pretty easily.  It's the edge of the pack, and you need to make sure to stay inside the scent line.  Wolves who live outside need to stay outside it.  She thought that was pretty obvious, and refrained from mentioning "until you're older" just in case it encouraged @Jet to or Pike (@Thief) to overestimate their abilities.  Yet again, Spook wasn't particularly interested, he seemed quite happy to stick to Arbiter's or his siblings' shadows.

Oh yeah, the rest of the ground rules. If you're playing alone and end up near the borders, don't come any closer to it than we are now.  It's up by that tree. She pointed with her nose to a particular tree that stood off by itself.  It was a dozen yards up or so.  If you see anyone on the other side, you should call for an adult to come meet them.  Then you're being a great junior guardian -- and the best guardians get rewards.  Arbiter had started building a small collection of cool things that she could give them besides food.  Assuming nobody else came through and nabbed it...

But if you're here with me or your father, you can go right up to the borders with us and help make sure the pack is safe.  You can come patrol with us whenever you want if you don't want to stay back at the den.  And saying it was boring?  Probably not necessary, they'd find out.  But hey, sometimes the den was more boring.  Come along, we can investigate.  If she was lucky, a few deer maybe came through here.  That'd be a good thing to point out.
