Herbalists' Cache [m]One for the money, two for the show

A young wolf, like them, appeared from the brush, his scent coming in full force now that he was no longer covered. Carnelian was both impressed and miffed that the yearling concealed himself so well. Thankfully, the wind had been on his side, because, otherwise, this guy could have had the jump on them, for sure.

He harrumphed at the male’s words. “And, how would you know that?” As he spoke, slow steps were taken toward the male, partly to see him better and to shield his sister. If this guy had any ill will towards them, at the very least Carnelian could be the distraction, allowing Peridot to escape and warn the others.
