Swiftcurrent Creek Winter is a cruel creature

Kaskara was glad that their pack was cohesive again. Everyone was home, their weakest wolves were gaining strength at every turn, and their hunts were once again successful, at least for the last two weeks. Since her return from Duskfire Glacier, Kaskara had little time to herself, since she spent so much of it checking on Paar and Bazi, hunting for the pack, and patrolling the borders, which usually ended in her meeting with other wolves at some point, either packmates or lone wolves looking for a home.

She also hadn't seen Kieran or Falwasi since their return, but today that was going to change. Kas followed the scent of her friend, Kieran, and found him wandering the borderline, adding his scent to any weak spots he came across. With a grin, she barked a greeting and fell into step beside him, not wanting to stop his work. "How do you say 'hello' in your language?"
