Whitefish River The Great Thorn

"Not likely," Pump replied, knowing very well that of all people in the world she would be the least likely to become a leader. Because of the simple fact that the wolf-dog was too lazy for such an act. Plus, she did not particularly enjoy the company of other wolves (there were exceptions of course and it depended on her mood) and she could not imagine herself, running around and being as cheerful and joyful as Pied. Although... now that she thought, Pied wasn't so well and in her stated definitely wasn't romping around the pack lands. She suddenly wondered, whether her pack mate was still alive.

But such thoughts were not very fruitful, if you were lost and far away from home. Therefore she whisked them away with a light shake of her head. "So you have seen quite a lot, haven't you?" Pump tossed back a question to Nuata. She sounded like a very smart creature and from her experience, this kind was not that common.
