Redhawk Caldera siqsusatkut

Eljay frowned with sudden alarm when Kigipigak said he thought it to be a bear. He himself tended to avoid those, and was afraid that the coming of a bear might spell trouble — especially with small children around.

Do you think we have any chance to take it out or chase it away? asked Eljay. He might not think to such measures normally, but as it was currently, he could not help but think of the pups, and the implications. He added, to clarify: Not with the two of us, I mean, but with the able-bodied of the pack. And who were those, anyway? There were many able-bodied, but not so many that were fighters. The thought of pushing his daughters to fight terrified Eljay and he quickly changed his mind on that. So that left Kigipigak and Kivaluk; and the thought of sending the young father to fight did not exactly appeal to Eljay, either. He frowned, and said: Perhaps for now, we should scout out the location. To see if it is enough of a threat to warrant action. Eljay thought back to the scorn they had given the Akashingo wolves when they had spoken of protection, and he realised only now, when understanding how little power they had to even chase a bear out of their territory, how vulnerable they truly were if anyone were to have ill will.
