Why... offer... his services?????
White Elk gazed blankly back at the woman, not quite sure he understood the question. What was a man if he wasn't doing things for others? How would anyone know what he was worth if he wasn't sticking his nose into other wolves' business? And why shouldn't he, a man, offer help to a woman who had no man to help her?
"Because we are of the same pack," he said after a moment, wondering if he was being terribly patronizing. He opened his mouth to take another stab at the question, and then instead, admitted, "I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. You have young children — it is the duty of your pack to pitch in and help you see that they grow healthy and strong. My duty."
Right? Surely the culture could not be all that different, could it? (Nervously, the herald recalled that awkward conversation about courtship with Valiant and the late moonwoman.)
