Duskfire Glacier violin

Lane was not a great reader of faces, but even she could see that Sakhmet was affected deeply. She shifted uncomfortably, a little guilty that she had scared the expectant mother. 

"Don't be," Lane waived away the apology with a sweep of her tail. "Two children were more than enough. I wouldn't trade Veteran and Wayfarer for anything, but truthfully, the litter was an accident." If the third pup had lived, he or she would have been just one more fatherless pup roaming the Teekons.  

"You and Kigipigak will be fine," she reassured Sakhmet. "Just take it easy-- let Kigipigak do the hunting. Settle nearby, if you can. Feel free to den in the caverns, if you want. My kids were born and raised there, and it worked well enough." The Duskfire wolves would not be around much longer, so someone might as well get some use out of the Greyfall Caverns.
