Duskfire Glacier Kanimmasik

Issorartuyok spoke again, and the semblance of a plan came to life.

Lane nodded. Veteran wouldn't miss the chance for the world, of this she was certain. "Wayfarer may wish to join your search too," Lane noted, recalling that her daughter had returned home from her most recent scouting trip. "It would be right up her alley." Her daughter @Wayfarer, the aspiring ranger of the pack, had spent more hours outside of the packlands than any of the other pups combined. She would be an asset to the scouting party, and she would probably jump at any chance of putting physical distance between herself and her mother, truth be told. It seemed Wayfarer would not forgive Lane for the several weeks of her puphood that Lane had been absent, no matter how hard Lane tried to make it up to her. 

"Truthfully, Tatkret... I don't know if Tzila's boys will agree leave this place." It had only been three weeks since they put the bodies of Winterbane and Tzila in the ground. Would the boys agree to leave the remains of their parents behind?

Honestly, @Arius and @Ensio were old enough to make their own decision about whether to stay or go. While the decimated herd would not be able to sustain the whole pack and whatever young arrived in the coming season, there would still be small game aplenty to sustain the two young men if they chose to remain behind to keep the flame of Duskfire Glacier alive and flickering.

"I think you should go at once, as soon as you have gathered the scouting party." Lane sighed. Issorartuyok had only just gotten back, and now he was to be sent off again.
