Sun Mote Copse keep the heid

Last round!

When Meerkat pointed out Njord’s Freudian slip, the man realized that his mind was too focused on the Cope’s image to outsiders. Perhaps this was because of an unconscious bias towards their non-hearing, non-speaking, non-seeing members. Maybe he thought the Copse was weak and vulnerable in the back of his mind.

The revelation shocked Njord. What kind of man, husband, and father was he if he didn’t recognize and trust the strength of his people? He ruminated silently on this notion as Meerkat voiced her mind.

It seemed all but Towhee thought it wise to send emissaries to judge the character of the Strath wolves. The Redhawk matriarch had a point: now that the Sweep was open they might never cross paths again. Still, Njord wished to know what kind of wolves settled in the Hinterlands.

-“Verrae well,”- Njord said (and signed) in agreement with Meerkat’s proposal. -“You an’ Towhee Jr will keep one another safe. Ah hope we can gain some intelligence on the nature of these wolves an’ the strength of their clan. Hopfully, as Towhee’s said, we willnae be in one-anothers way again.”-

Njord straightened, pleased that his pack was aligned with their mission. To be proactive gave the man a sense of assurance that they would not be caught off-guard for any reason.

-“There is one more thing I wish tae discuss,”- he added. -“Towhee Jr had shown interest in learning the ways of leadership. She’s innately protective an’ works hard tae defend and provide for the pack.”- Njord’s blue gaze scanned the faces of Sunmote Copse until they settled on his wife. -“Meerkat an’ I have discussed it…”- he turned to face his sister-in-law. -“…An’ we wish tae promote ye tae Honoree. It is our hope you will one day become the greatest pack leader Teekon's ever seen.”-
