Firestone Hot Springs with a pocket full of gold

That was a good question. Katmai's hesitation probably wasn't very encouraging, but he wanted to choose his words carefully. He couldn't misrepresent the situation, but neither did he want Kinusi to go home now and stay there forever.

He supposed, in the end, that what would be would just have to be.

"She has migraines," he said to Kinusi, his tone very neutral. He was worried about them, personally, but he was not sure how inherently worrying they truly were. "And... I think she is sad. About the way that all the packs have gone. I think it would do her well to see you again."

He was a bit anxious still that Kinusi would be lured back to Moonspear instead of staying to found Morningside with him — but a new scent soon drew his attention. Something like rotted eggs. And up ahead there was steam. These must be the hot springs he'd heard about.

Which meant that another relic of Morningside's past lay up ahead.
