Duskfire Glacier Keep a bluebird in my heart

At Lane's request, the gathered wolves began milling around sorting either themselves into groups or declaring some other course of action. Veteran turned to look to Wayfarer, who had been seated right behind him, but much to his surprise she had disappeared. It would not surprise him if his sister tried to forge a path to the Summit alone, just to spite their mother and her request that everyone travel in groups. 

Frowning a bit, Veteran glanced around the meeting. His eye was caught quickly by Heda, who made what looked to be a "running" gesture against the ground with her paw. She looked like she was raring to go. He nodded to her eagerly, pleased to have been chosen. Would she want to leave tonight? Is that was the "running" sign meant? 

He did not have to wonder long. Heda spoke up to voice her request to Lane and Issorartuyok. Veteran trotted up beside her. "We'll set the trail," he offered. He looked from Issorartuyok to Lane, and then finally to Tuuluuwaq, who was gazing at his mother with big, lovey-dovey eyes. Ugh, gross. Adults were so.. blech! Suddenly, Veteran was just as anxious to depart as Heda seemed to be.
