Big Salmon Lake I saw fireworks from the freeway

Toad felt quite lucky to have been able to find quite a lot of extended family out here, so far from her homeland. Lane seemed unperturbed by her lack of relations, but Toad wondered if she might be lonely. She looked a bit thin, like she didn't have a place to call home. Perhaps that was something she was hoping to find.

It is! Toad happily confirmed. Though she had been going back and forth between feeling rather unappreciated and out of place, she knew that her skillset had helped the pack to grow strong. She was constantly refilling caches with small prey, and Bronco had always been willing to help out in the scouting and tackling of larger prey. It's a pack mostly full of young people — I think I might be the oldest of the bunch, she remarked off hand. Just as she finished though, Lane seemed to have found something.

Toad took off after her, eying the patch like a lost cabbage patch kid.
