Bearclaw Valley Girl, I, must warn you

Skoll truly could say it was his curiosity of Merrick that brought him following for so long. Curiosity if the man actually would get what he wanted, and that Skoll himself wanted to learn more. And he had. Skoll had learned plenty about the smaller male over time. He now was curious about other wolves of their pack, women? Not so much. However he had to subject himself to learning more. What kind of planner would he be, if he didn't know things? A bad one, that's what. 

He did wonder why Merrick proposed freedom. Just being within a pack took it away - they were restricted to the place by their own ties. It didn't mean the wolf couldn't go exploring though. Maybe the coyowolf was just trying to collect as many members as possible. Well, Skoll wouldn't fault him for it. 

Skoll had smelled the bears before, they did linger in this place. Though he wondered if they stayed clear of the wolves. 

"In passing." Was the correct answer, there. He'd not been close enough to one to watch it. But he'd seen one moving through the shadows, once.
