Verdigris Ravine (M) And wrens have begun to sing an old song in the mouth of your kettle.

if the terms were less than acceptable to zoug, he chose not to show this. his eye was filled instead with wariness for s'ari, for despite her tight jaws and annoyances, he did not think a bad thing was between them.

that the wolf would not come to the cave satisfied zoug. he grunted to show his agreeability with s'ari and fell away behind she and the wolf.

letting out a call to @Koa, @Hazelnut, and @Candle that the stranger among them was beneath the tribe's protection, zoug oversaw their journey to water and then melted away, back toward the cave and its precious inhabitants.
