Bearclaw Valley who among you will be able to stand?

anceline's call for @Ameline was robust and would carry to the ears of any listening wolf. in his confidence was he reckless, confidence fed by the continuance of @Sariel at his side.
it didn't occur to him that the rawboned creature was too thin to participate in hunting till they recovered, or that he had essentially recruited someone for a place he wasn't even sure they'd keep.
the kids were here, sure, but their mom wasn't. and a whole host of other packs outnumbered them, just before winter. ancelin, then, relied on the logicality of his mate to sort this issue.
