Duskfire Glacier mamatsak ∓

Veteran was thrilled to hear him mom welcome the Moonglow hunters to the Taiga. Yes, yes, yes! Duskfire Glacier was finally going to see some action..! And the good kind..! Not he kind where sisters tore your face open or fathers got struck by lightening.

The boy was also feeling pretty vindicated that his and his mom's plans for the sick deer in the herd had been more or less the same. Both Lane and Veteran wanted them killed. This was instinctive for a wolf, and his mother had always taught him to follow his instincts. He was annoyed to have been encouraged by to doubt himself by Eldritch and Ensio, and even Issorartuyok too (although his mentor would get the benefit of the doubt, because his over-abundance of caution had seemed much more reluctant). 

"Mom, can I go stay with Aunt Kukutux and set the trail with Uncle Sun-man? Please?" Veteran begged, his large, pleading gaze settling on Lane's face. He was careful not to whine, because mom hated that, but every inch of his body was quivering with longing.
