Swiftcurrent Creek tell the wolves i'm home

Bones's small smile faded somewhat when Bazi informed her that Fox no longer led here. She feared the worst, though the white she-wolf quickly explained that she'd gone to Blacktail Deer Plateau to be mates with Peregrine. The yearling's jaw dropped slightly.

"Ye mean... Cap'n Fox is me aunt now?!" she said after a moment, staring between Bazi and Star for a moment. "Peregrine is me dad, Atticus's, brother," she explained, then fell silent to continue marveling at this unexpected development.

A visit to the plateau was in order, just as soon as Bones recovered enough to make the trip there. She knew that was days if not weeks away, though, and that was one of the reasons she said, "Aye, Cap'n Bazi. The creek is me home." She had practically died finding her way back here and she wasn't about to hop up and leave again.

The young she-wolf stood on shaky legs. "I'm ready for that drink. Then I'm going to sleep for a week," Bones joked wearily. Although she hated to freeload, she knew she honestly wouldn't be able to do much but eat, sleep and heal in the coming days. After that, she would make up for it. She began to shuffle toward the creek, after giving Cap'n Bazi a look seeking permission.

After a long drink, Bones settled on her belly again and looked up at her comrades. "Thank-ye for everything. It's good to be home." She could feel herself losing consciousness again, though this time it was out of satiation rather than weakness. "It's me birthday, by the way, so I'm ready for an adult rank," Bones murmured before promptly falling asleep at their feet.
