Issorartuyok filled Lane in on the little lesson that Veteran had been taught, and she nodded appreciatively. "You're great with Veteran," she commented, "He'll be thrilled you're back." Maybe at some point, she would see if Issorartuyok could also help with Wayfarer. Her daughter was an aspiring ranger, and she could use whatever advice or skills Issorartuyok had to teach. 

Lane thought Issorartuyok's idea for the funeral proceedings was perfect. She would run it by Tzila's boys, and as long as they approved, she would make it happen. "This is a good plan," she praised. "How about the Cold Moon for the date?" The next full moon would be a full three weeks after the deaths, which would give everyone a chance to grieve privately and come to terms with the loss before the more public arrangements.
