Emberwood Vilipending Loneliness

It wasn't like this guy had specified what kind of deer. Spook had just jumped to the conclusion that it'd be a big one. Adults could maybe do that, right? Arbiter probably could. Spook wasn't gonna try. He'd rather have the pack. At the response, his ears tipped back a little. It had been a fair question. My brother. And considering Spook was alone, it was probably pretty obvious he hadn't found a sign of Pike. I was going to go home. Unsuccessful at his goal, but at least it meant he could return home.

He had to wonder, would his mother want him to try to recruit random people like this guy? Obviously he could hunt, so it wasn't like Spook would be trying to bring back some totally useless person. He tried to explore the idea a little from a not-so obvious angle while he thought through what Arbiter would think, You aren't with a pack? It was sort of confirming, sort of asking why not. Spook had always been with his family, and wasn't exactly sure why anyone would want to leave, but maybe that just made him weird.
