Duskfire Glacier The Future

Can this count towards her Counselor trade? Or does she need to have her Mercenary trade started first?

It took everything she had to stop, calm herself, and listen to Lane; it was not that she disagreed with Lane - in fact, it was quite the opposite - but she was not yet used to collaborating, or having plans. It was proof of just how much she'd grown that she took a deep breath, and began to think, rather than act straightaway.

It was Calida, Lane, a few other adults, and several young ones. "No, you're... you're right. We can't have anyone else away..." She trailed off, debating her next words. Her first thoughts went to Iota, waiting at the borders. He was a storyteller - pups liked stories, right? They needed to make sure the young ones were being watched, and kept safe. Duskfire had suffered blow after blow after blow, and Calida reflected, somber. Wintersbane and Tzila's deaths, the loss of their food sources, having to move, and now, their allies had been attacked. The red woman swallowed, then exhaled slowly.

"One of us should get Iota," she would let Lane decide who, "We need to make sure the young ones are accounted for and kept occupied - I don't think they need to know about Rivenwood if we can help it..." But then what? Were they to just sit there and wait? She looked to Lane, uncertain.
