Whitefish River The sun rises thusly

Work kept Speedy's mind occupied and thankfully between her responsibilities to the pack and her now having to care for the children on her own, she had plenty to keep her busy. Today, she had gathered some of the last marigolds she found before winter and was carrying them between her teeth as she made her way back to the herb den. She had heard the call from the borders but thought not much of it. There were plenty within the pack meant to handle newcomers and intruders; if they needed her specifically, they would call.

But she happened upon the Constable and a woman she had never met before. Honestly, she looked like she could belong to her own family, but it was just a passing thought as she made to join them wherever they were going. She set the plants down under a tree to retrieve later and trotted over to her friend and the unknown woman. Hey Hieronymous, she said warmly. Then she looked at the stranger and offered a friendly smile, not worried about her being within the territory since Hieronymous had clearly escorted her here. I'm Speedy, Kaistleoki's Chamberlain and healer, she said. You must be new.
