Whitebark Stream Temperance is a Virtue I Lack

after meeting the rise wolf, sun eater chose a most circuitous route back to saatsine. it was good to roam again, to feel the wind upon the backs of his teeth and to see how the ground grew colder beneath his paws.

it was curious to find kekoa's scent here, but not so much; he expected his wolves to range and to hunt as they prepared. there was no veiling his intention as he followed the trail directly.

he found the young healer there upon the ground; sun eater bristled with a loud growl and came to stand in guardianship over kekoa as his single eye swept for the threat which had put the boy down.
