Bearclaw Valley cursed to hold a weight you cannot bare

Another wolf showed up, even bigger than the one who had met them first.   Ashlar felt his face flush with nerves and quailed a bit under Greyback's austere attention.  The boy kept his feet and did not back away, to his credit.

Ashlar looked excitedly at Gannet when he heard the news, and he could not prevent his tail from going a bit with the excitement.  He had worried that they would not find them and that they were gone for good.  He didn't really know how to respond to the rest of what she said.

Thank you!! Umm... I d-dont think so.  I think we can go.  He felt his mouth go dry, but when he looked over, Ashlar smiled at Leta.  He was a little overwhelmed by all of the new strangers but she seemed super nice. Maybe it would be good to have neighbors like these who could eventually become friends too.
