Swiftcurrent Creek When the wind blows

Concluding! :)

Alright, you guess? Bazi gave him a funny look. What a peculiar thing to say. 'I haven't had the pleasure', perhaps, or 'I can't say we've been acquainted'.. but alright, you guess?

"Huh," she responded, her interest in bonding with her pack-mate suddenly gone. Bazi didn't do well with men. They rubbed her the wrong way. There was something primitively incompatible about her wiring and theirs, and in that moment she missed Tuwawi, Danica, and Paarthurnax with such force that it made her throat constrict. None of that was Cadfael's fault.

"We could hunt," she suggested as an alternative to the idle chit-chat he seemed to enamored with, and took off with the expectation that he would follow (and the hope that he would not).
