Herbalists' Cache after the fire

Like many Kaertok had met, she wouldn't settle to be beneath somebody. But how, he wondered, was that the case for so many wolves, when it was impossible to lead without those who would follow? Kaertok had always sought to follow, because helping others achieve that had always been the easier path. He had never wanted to lead his own, for there was too much responsibility around the notion. It meant he would be tied down, and he certainly couldn't imagine a life of that. It was always much more rewarding to help others instead of trying to get his own slice of the pie.

Jomyo and Arbiter had convinced him Legion was a good choice for him, and so he had pledged himself to their cause. This sun-kissed wolf was not the leader he would follow, or perhaps he might have been swayed to fall under her lead instead. He gave her a curt nod. Is this where you intend to make your home? If so, he would steer clear of it. No sense in making the same mistake she had.
