Whitefish River heavy snow fall wakes the neighbors

Of all the places he could have suggested she go, the Spine was not really one of them. Though as the closest neighbor — relatively speaking — to Silvertip Mountain, he found that he wasn't surprised either. Perhaps they had more awareness to them than he thought, even though the reasons Bindi wanted to there were far different than Mordecai could have imagined. At that point, he was unaware of the conflict that had risen within the Spine following his leaving, or the end result that was yet to reach a head.

Turning about to orient himself, he surmised where the Spine was in location to them. "It'll be a bit of a travel from here, but it should be towards the south," he said, squinting as though he could have discerned the location through the forestry. "It sits low, almost in a valley of its own. Kind of mountainous, without the height of your own pack." A thread of silence followed his words, and he wondered if it would be worthy to tell her how territorial they were. In the end, he relented; she was a territorial creature herself, no doubt keen enough to sense when she was coming up on them. Perhaps she had seen the location from the mountain itself.
