Swiftcurrent Creek Are we cool?

your blessing means much to me, came words that were decorated with a chuckle and a nod of his head. he was glad, oh, so glad, to know that arlette approved, and would give him a polite send-off. i will speak to milan about that, and hopefully she will be able to commune with their leaders. i'm sure that bearclaw valley will be more than happy to have more allies, because, well, who wouldn't? especially during the winter.

with a breath, then, he said: i will catch some prey for the caches ... but i wish to go silently, he was beginning to regret not reaching out to the wolves of this pack. and ... thank you, arlette, for you have given me the courage that i needed to reach.

frederick gave a single nod ; within it was a sense of finality.

he turned away, then, and moved to the hunting grounds.

exit fred !!
