Stavanger Bay sold my red horse for a venture home

So, Engel had not traveled west yet, but that did not concern the pale wolf very much. There would be time to send the red lad out again and then he could return with whatever news the remainder of the coast brought him. In the meantime, it would be smart of the Captain to seek out these packs to the east and see if he could plant some plans for alliances with any of the settlers. He was not entirely enthralled with the prospect, but he knew that there was strength in numbers, and he never wanted his home to be threatened by the presence of any who would seek to cause them harm.

“Ye don't have to leave right away. Drop anchor an' get yer sea legs back before ye head out,” he instructed with a smile and a grateful expression to the red wolf. “Wot else have ye done out there, Engel?” Because, Smokestep wanted to know the business of his crew, and he wanted to make sure that he was an active presence in their lives.
