candle spoke.
her words held sense. wolves came to threaten one another. how long until they turned teeth on tribe? then it would not matter where they went.
these caves were safer. the appeal of clan was great for zoug, but so was his pride when brac spoke.
his son, who had not seen battle, stood as strong warrior before them all. he spoke for the ravine.
zoug shifted, and at last he stood to speak in clan words.
it is safer to leave. it gives us more days before the wolves come. where we stand together is home.
his breath; a pause.
if we leave again, i do not want to move again. if wolf come, i fight. a cave could only be made safe if it was fortified in lasting. repeated departures would weaken that.
a compromise, a promise of war for which he would make no other a sacrifice.
