Kaertok gave a little, I see, at the explanation. If the flower was so poisonous (good info to know, of course), why was this wolf messing with them at all? The Tartok wolf had always been taught to leave deadly things alone. Not avoiding deadly things was a good way to get dead, or so his mother had taught him. Following her advice, Kaertok was not yet dead, so he assumed it was pretty good advice to be given.

Wherever you go looking for rocks, make sure you do not stray too far north of here. Legion, my pack,—yes, also Arbiter's pack, but Kaertok was feeling slightly more in charge now—does not tolerate strangers lingering close to our borders. This would potentially gauge the stranger's interest in joining, though Kaertok still refused to push the issue outright.
