Noctisardor Bypass I'll keep a light on in my soul

Laurel told them of the raid, of which they already knew. But he didn't interrupt her. Clearly she didn't remember when his group had been here helping them before. She had likely been too traumatized, and he could definitely understand that.

But duskfire had suffered a lot of hardship lately; they deserved a break—Lane deserved a break. Not to mention they were moving very far away, and helping would require them to send wolves to live here for the duration of this conflict. He was reminded of how upset Lane had been the last time they were separated. That had been difficult for them both, and the northerner did not want to go through that again. Nor did he want Lane involved in a war with some crazy wolves who were deranged enough to steal children. 

I am not sure that is a decision we can make for the pack without speaking to everyone, he told her. It felt too selfish to tell her no outright, and that wasn't even his choice to make. 

When Laurel mentioned the former glacier alpha and asked if he was still with them, Tuulu looked to Lane. The Tatkret had never known the man and did not feel right delivering the news of his death.
