Swiftcurrent Creek Last Ride of the Day

"Ahhh, you're a healer," Falwasi breathed, surprised by his trade. She had only known... women healers. "Well, I know we have one more healer here in the Creek, however I'm afraid I do not know her name." She said, thinking of the deeply hued female who had treated Dovev the day of the attack. The she-wolf seemed kind enough; shy, but kind.

Falwasi had had a conversation similar to this one with Taltos, her Plateau friend. "I'm seeking the role of a gamekeeper, and warrior." She explained, nodding as she did so for self-confirmation. The gamekeeper trade appealed to her, though the warrior trade not as much. But she was a warrior in her old pack, and she and her old pack mates would expect her to pursue it.

The lean female noted that having a mate was one of Luka's first concerns, and she wondered why. Why would any wolf that was young be in such a rush to find a mate? If you look for happiness, you'll never find it. Falwasi wanted to tell the male, but the words failed to come out of her mouth.
