Duck Lake we remained locked together

Merrick didn't move when Skoll arrived, still laying down on his back offering some form of trust Skoll didn't think he deserved. Skoll could get up and tear into the man's stomach- though Merrick must have known that Skoll wasn't going to do that. Why bite the paw that feeds you? It was a dangerous thought. 

He wasn't surprised when Merrick proposed taking over Easthollow, of which he assumed was an official pack that was around. It was also dangerous. They were not a big enough group to go around demanding that they make war and take over other packs. They hardly were even known in the slightest. "I don't think taking them over would be a good idea." A pause. There were other ways to get a pack to know another was close. "I'm sure they'll begin to know you once our borders become more noticable. Or you could march up to them and say that the pack exists now." Skoll wasn't sure what kind of fire he was fueling, but he didn't think it was a good one.
