Swiftcurrent Creek drums

For anyone not planning to fight. :)

Everything was happening at once. Bazi had not noticed Star's absence, and the second excursion was the first she was hearing of the matter. It had already been decided that Scimitar would be leading a group to.. wherever it was. Some woods in the south? Bazi swore at herself for having let her outrider duties slide, but she had only just required the use of all four legs.

The best thing for her to do now was to stay put. Fighting (if that's what it came to) wasn't one of her strong suites, and someone had to hold the fort at home. The Arctic wolf trotted briskly around the perimeter of the den she shared with Paarthurnax, drawing cold air through flared nostrils. What had possessed that foolish girl to stray so far? Bazi huffed angrily, and took a few galloping steps through the packed-down snow.
