Blacktail Deer Plateau Little Fang

"O-okay," the pup stuttered, successfully soothed. Without a word, Pura made tracks towards the mountains in the east - without indicating that Val should follow, but expecting that he would. They would spend the afternoon cataloguing the scents at the base of the mountain; Pura would tell the pup to remain at the Plateau whilst he followed promising leads into and beyond the mountains.

It was all for show, of course. Pura knew that it helped others to search, and hope, but the child's family was most certainly dead.

Conclude? :) Is it OK to make the end a bit vague?
