so many!
intimidated, chickadee stuck very close to kukutux and her entourage of grown and baby relatives. her role for several months had been as unofficial sitter, and so she could be counted upon to entertain one or all of them as they traveled. she herded stragglers back to the group and wrestled at night until little energies were expended.
and now she carried stacks of hides into the shadow of oaks, overwhelmed at how many wolves were here and how many came right up to them! it was hard not to bristle at times. she busied herself laying out the skins and arranging packets of medicine, though she paused to wade down to the river's edge with one child or another in tow, for a safe drink and a look around.
when her mother showed up, chickadee excused herself with an exclamation of joy, winding through the throng until she found @Maia. "mom! it's so good to see you! wow!" her eyes were pure joy. "if you don't know where to stay, you can hang out in the moonglow camp with me and everyone. can you believe how many showed up? and they keep coming!"
