Lost Creek Hollow Found somethin' there, chief?

To a certain point it wasn't his business, and if he hadn't looked even more submissive when asking, she maybe would have have actually said so.  Okay, maybe he needed to know a little.  And of course, she wasn't going to share the inner workings of her plan with him, of all wolves.  There was no way Joss would ever make it to her shortlist so he didn't even need to know the game existed.  Would he even be able to get back to a healthy weight before the season was over?  At least that meant he probably wasn't going to head off spawning a ton of illegitimate pups if he looked like a freaky skeleton boy.

Unless told otherwise, plan for the latter.  There was still the chance something in her plan would go completely wrong, but as long as nobody did anything stupid she didn't foresee any problems.  As long as Terance didn't randomly keel over dead or go back on his word after finding himself this year's edition of Seabreeze. At least right now, she didn't have a backup plan if that happened.   I'll do the final finish.  So don't worry about the details for now, just make it workable.  Unless he seemed likely to finish early, as unlikely as that seemed.  Maybe he'd surprise her, but she wasn't expecting to be impressed.
