Swiftcurrent Creek far east movement

Kaskara heard the girl's call and had been burying a rabbit in a communal cache, so she hadn't been able to leave just then. When she finally recovered the cache with leaves, she made her way to the border and found that Danica had already arrived, and asked what the young plateau wolf was doing on their borders. Kaskara didn't know Danica well, but she was pleased to see that she treated Junior with fairness, despite being a stranger looking for one of her packmates.

Kaskara would have gone to them then, but something held her back. She had never seen Junior interact with anyone outside her home pack before, and she was curious to see how she handled Danica's question. Not that the Eta had been harsh or demanding, though it was a legitimate question. She remained hidden in the shadow of a tree, watching the pair carefully, her large ears swiveled toward them to catch every word.
