Free falling

Edited March 11 to write a conclusion

Tempest seemed to want a task for her counselling trade and FitzDutiful thought carefully before replying to her. It was a difficult one for you couldn't guarantee that wolves had problems you could solve. Most of the time it was just being there. Then it clicked. "The most important aspect of pack counsellor is that wolves trust you and can talk to you. I want you to get to know Raissa, Bindi and Copper well enough so you know that if they have any problems they could come to you." It wouldn't be easy, Bindi was especially difficult to see into the heart of and FitzDutiful didn't know about Tempest's problems with males. That said, she would have to get over it quickly to earn the trade.

She had also requested leave to go and visit other packs to learn of any healers that could help her. He valued that but felt cautious about sending her off. More silence as he visibly pondered her suggestion. "You can visit Blacktail Deer Plateau, Ouroboros Spine, and Stavanger Bay. Do not under any circumstances go anywhere near Blackfeather Woods." He didn't trust that pack and he wouldn't have his pack mates anywhere near there, especially not one who's protection he was concerned about.

"Let me know how you get on!" Fitz said, turning and wandering off, happy his pack wanted to earn trades, leaving Tempest to ponder who to visit first.
