No, there was no honor it. Those were Lane's thoughts exactly, and this was why she had so far put off holding any kind of ceremony for the deceased.

"Oh, I'll manage," she deflected, "And I'll come with you to eat." She followed his lead, and she would take what was offered. No matter how sour the food was hitting her stomach, she knew she needed to keep her strength up to take care of her pack and her children, who had just lost their father.

Like Wintersbane did." Surely Tatkret would understand what Lane meant. Wintersbane had been good and decent, but he had also been severe and aloof.
