Blackfoot Forest after

Bazi was returning from some light reconnaissance to the south when she caught Falwasi's scent, and followed it into the forest. On their one and only outing together, she and Shadow had discounted it as viable pack territory. She had thought differently of him then. Had she ruined a good thing by dismissing his need to vent, on that very first meeting? Was she to blame for Paarthurnax leaving the pack?

Bazi gave her head a vigorous shake, scrambling that trail of thought before it could run away with her. After an hour of searching and sniffing around, she finally located Falwasi - seated near one of the smaller trees in the forest. "Hey!" she called, moving nimbly through the undergrowth. "Fancy seeing you here. Do you like this forest? It's called 'Blackfoot Forest', I think... it's full of foxes."

Bazi did not know how much she owed to Falwasi's decision not to let past mistakes influence her views on Swiftcurrent Creek and its Alpha.
