Nimbus Summit natbri

Veteran had been eager to forge ahead with @Heda, secretly a little pleased that he had been selected over Ensio. Most of his difficult feelings around his brother had subsided after his chat with Meerkat, but every now and then he felt a little twinge of jealousy when he saw some evidence of how close Ensio and Heda had become. 

Veteran had fallen slightly behind Heda when they passed through the glade at the base of the mountain. He had detected the scents of a few strangers in the pretty, sunlit copse. He could see how it might be an appealing place to linger. To dissuade anyone else from settling more permanently, he had emptied his bladder in key locations around the glade. Particular attention was paid to the areas closest to mountain, and up the path to Nimbus Summit. 

He froze as movement caught his eye, and a flash or orange fur darted across the path. Not far after came Heda, flying along with playful, springy leaps. Veteran barked his encouragement. "Yeah, get out of here, fox! We're Atautsikut, and we live here now!" Like Heda, he would have preferred to discover some more impressive opposition, but he was enjoying himself all the same.
