Dragoncrest Cliffs okay, well, that’s a mutual thing.

val was on edge -- but why? the last stranger to come through had been let in without qualm. what made cayetano any different?

he stiffened as the man made mention of a boy. from his description, val could piece together it was tousaint. but tousaint was gone to eresta. maybe he could send the man off with this discouraging news and forget all about it.

you'd be looking for tousaint, but he has gone to our pack's sister tribe. val pushed the conch back, giving his best imitation of a polite smile that hardly reached his eyes. so you best be takin' that, we don't need it.
