Blacktail Deer Plateau ashes call my name

Sorry for the delay. :)

Sveinn was quick to change the subject, and she sucked in sharply when he mentioned Tuwawi again. Fox figured he would have asked eventually, but she was still reluctant to give away too much. If anything, it was Njal and Tuwawi who had been her main concern at the creek. They were raising the lifeblood that would become the creek's next generation. “She may not have known where I had gone,” replied Fox. “Let's just say my departure wasn't planned.” But she left it at that. The young leader did not wish to delve into the details.

“Will you stay?” she asked, glancing back up at the plateau. “It would be nice to have another familiar face around.” Of course, there was Rina and Finn, but they were less close to Fox than Sveinn had been, even if he had only been at the creek for a short time.
