four walls

Keeping it vague until I know the outcome of the Shadow thread!

After Njal and Tuwawi's departure, Bazi withdrew. She had made a royal mess of her pack, banishing Danica for a detail that barely mattered in the grand scheme of things, and alienating Shadow in the process. By now, she did not doubt that the entire pack knew about her misstep, and it would mean a number of awkward conversations in the near future. When Kaskara called, she assumed that this would be the first one - excluding encounters with the abovementioned wolves.

She responded promptly, arriving at the creekside within minutes of the call. Kaskara had been busy, looking washed, relaxed, and about to be well fed. Bazi looked the opposite. The fur on one side was matted, and her fur had yellowed around the paws. She approached slowly, tail swinging limply around her hocks. "News?" she asked, stretching her neck to sniff at Kaskara, uncertain if they were at a stage yet where closeness was acceptable. After the kerfuffle with Danica, she was cautious.
