Duskfire Glacier sunset dinner

He normally wouldn't even be on the glacier. He had spent most of his time in the valley or by the river, helping to get rid of the sick caribou. It had been nice to keep busy.

But other things had kept him close to the glacier today, besides the fact that his leg wound hurt quite a lot after his rescuing the stranger from the river.

The woman who crossed his path in the distance was new, at least to him. Upon further inspection,  he could tell she held not only the scent of the pack but she also smelled very strongly of his brother. She had been near him recently. His heart picked up.

He trotted over and offered a brisk chuff in greeting. You have been with Issorartuyok recently, he told her. Is he here? I'm his brother. I've been waiting for him to return.
