Firefly Glen Somewhere

Kukutux was injured? Lane's expression darkened. That wasn't good news by any means, but fortunately the Matchmaker of Moonspear was a healer in her own right. If this Sialuk person was there to assist Kukutux, Lane was honestly more concerned with the wolves who were still missing. Like Antares...

"I'd like to go with you, Bronco, to search for survivors. I'll bring my medkit, in case anyone needs emergency care." Realistically, anyone who hadn't managed to find them at this point was probably in need of emergency care. Bronco would need a medic by his side. 

Lane's paws were itching to get going; it had taken all of her willpower to stay in place this long, and she had only done so out of respect for Bronco. Although she had only known the young Blackthorn a few days, Bronco's adept leadership and self-possession in the midst of all this chaos had earned him Lane's admiration. 

So of course, despite her desire to search for Antares, she would defer to Bronco's leadership. If he thought Lane's medical skills would be of more use in the Caldera, or with Meerkat's party (particularly since Kukutux was injured) she would do as he asked. 

As for his mention of settling and rebuilding... well... Lane hadn't actually gotten around to explaining to Bronco the arrangement that she had made with Antares. Lane was supposed to just be here on a temporary basis, to patch up the bear attack victims. She'd had every intention of leaving as soon as the blizzards cleared and her infected paw healed completely. Assisting in building a new pack was never part of the plan.. not that any of this had been part of anyone's plan, of course. 

Lane would have to think over her decision. At least it would keep her mind off of her sore paw.
