Duskfire Glacier across the universe

Sorry for holding this up. I'm going to wrap this up! Feel free to post again if you want, but it's not necessary.

Kaskara heard Bazi's plea but didn't react to it, only storing it away to ponder later. She would need to speak with her, and soon, to get things cleared up before they returned to the creek. She didn't need Bazi devastated by her brother's aloofness when they returned, not on her watch. She dipped her muzzle to Danica again, ever grateful for her ability to care for Bazi even when she didn't need to, and turned back toward Malachi.

"Both of those requests are reasonable." It would take a hard-headed wolf not to agree with those terms. "I know the creek will extend any help possible if any of your members need it. In exchange for Bazi's safe-keeping, we will hunt for you and help fill your caches." If Kieran and Falwasi decided that was not in their best interests, then Kaskara would do that part alone. As long as they got Bazi back, she was willing to do just about anything in return.

Kaskara looked Bazi over again and smiled, though a trace of sadness was on her face. They needed to get her well again, and to do that, she needed rest and nourishment. Turning back to Malachi and Danica, she said, "Since we have traveled a long way, I think we will retreat for the night. Thank you again for your hospitality." She bowed toward them both and after a few more words of farewell, turned to coordinate a hunt for Bazi, who would remain in the safety of the pack until she was well enough to leave. Kas wouldn't risk her out here. With a last farewell, Kaskara left to hunt.
