Duskfire Glacier powder your nose, paint your toes

Feel free to post travel threads, pp and/or tag Veteran. You can also just skip the traveling and post Calida with Issorartuyok's group of scouts. It's not the worst time to have low muse, since Calida is technically away right now. I'm fine with whatever you want to do, even if you want to just have all of Calida's and Veteran's interactions be behind the scenes.

There was something about Calida's agreement that seemed hollow, but Lane could not put her paw on exactly what bothered Calida. Was she disappointed that Tuuluuwaq could not join her, or unhappy to play pupsitter to a child? Or both? Lane was not a great reader of emotions, and so she often settled with just taking words at face value. This is what she did now. 

By way of answering Calida's question, Lane lifted her voice into the air, summoning Veteran. When the howl was finished, she turned to Calida. "You can leave with Veteran as soon as he arrives, if you're feeling up to it. I think you'll get along well," Lane reassured her, in case this was a point of anxiety for Calida. She remembered Calida mentioning that she was not often around other wolves. 

"Safe travels," Lane would wish Calida in parting. She would then leave the ranger in peace, so she may get some rest before she departed.
