Silverlight Terrace And on this night began to wonder why,

He smiled in grateful acknowledgement of the praise he was being given. It was a challenge, joining a new pack and then doing all the training required to fit in and impress the leaders, but it wasn't an endeavour he'd taken upon himself for pride- it was at his sister's request that they move, so he- her adoring guardian- had complied, in a bid to make sure that she got what she wanted, but was safe while she did so. 

"Ah," He said, pleased that his guess had been correct. The name of the pack was a bit of a giveaway- as evergreens would weather even the harshest winter snow storms without losing the green hue of their needles...Thus, unlike hardwood forests, it would maintain the verdant hue of summer. He'd spied such a thing from the slopes of his new home, and was pleased that he might be able to offer Miriam some assistance. "Then I think I know which way we need to go," He said. "There's a lake nearby, yeah? In a sort of rocky crater?" He asked, hoping he'd identified the right forest, and that he wasn't just going to steer her in the wrong direction. "I think I saw an evergreen forest from the mountain. We're just a bit...South-west of it, I think, we can prolly- probably- skirt around the lake and get to it by nightfall." He said.
