Duskfire Glacier minne duett

Lane dipped her muzzle in acceptance of the girl's apology, which was polite but unnecessary. Lane had not helped her because she was expecting anything in return. She only worried that Druid would push herself too hard and wind up in a bad spot all over again. 

"Okay, good," Lane replied, relieved that Druid still felt okay. "I'd still like to take a look, when you have a minute." Many wolves would insist that they were fine until they were so far gone that they were difficult to treat. Lane expected this; it was in the nature of a wolf to mask illness and injury. 

Druid asked about the scouts, and Lane visibly deflated. 

"Oh.. I thought that you and Heda had gone after them. They haven't returned. So.. I guess that means you didn't find them, either...?" Lane had been hoping that Druid would have news. "Did you make it back to Rivenwood?" Lane assumed that had been Druid's destination.
