Duskfire Glacier Baby love me, apocalyptic

@Eldritch Sorry Pandora went inactive. :( Will you take Lane instead?

Weaning was not going well, and the frazzled mother's ears were still ringing from Wayfarer and Veteran's pitiful cries. They were eating regurgitated meat now (albeit reluctantly) and so Lane had some hope at least that she would be able to take her scout's trip soon. She really needed a vacation, especially after this week. 

Lane wasn't entirely surprised to find that a fellow packmate had retreated to the outskirts, given the racket her children where making at the center of their claim. The raven-pelted woman lingered near a cavern, Lane noted, and she recalled something that someone had mentioned about a strange herbalist woman living somewhere out here.

"Oh, are you the witch?" Lane asked offhandedly, her smile twisted into more of a bitter smirk given her mood. She was mostly kidding-- she didn't believe in magic and potions and all that in the least bit. The epithet was spoken as a mockery of the superstitious wolves who did believe, and not really meant to be an insult to the "witch" herself.
