Jade Fern Grove sturdied up boulders and loosened the river

Yeah, there was something broken about this guy, but Arbiter didn't have a word or reason for it. A different sort of broken to Merrick in that at least he seemed to not be itching for a fight, but still just plain off. Like she wasn't entirely sure what he was implying by the first part of his response. But she'd come back to that later if she had to.

There's a pack called Ursus, lead by an one eyed man named Merrick. How would she describe him? He killed his mother and is about as stable as late winter ice. I don't know what he wants. I don't even know how he managed to gather enough wolves to have a pack. But oh, if he wants peace and quiet I will be very surprised... He had tried so hard to find a way to anger her and she had refused to give him that satisfaction. She had no desire to deal with him or his ilk again, but suspected they would eventually cross paths again. Sometime.
