Blacktail Deer Plateau east will take me back

It was good to hear her speak so highly of her — and at least for the time being, his — consul.  Perhaps he has so bull-headedly decided he likes the plateau because of its differences from the Chasm in which he had been whelped and reared.  He had always respected the consul, but he had not always liked them.

But they are good leaders, make no mistake.  Having a heart does not make you a weakling.

This affirmation roused a fire in him like nothing else she had said so far, and there was a forceful purpose in his simple words as he delivered them: Most certainly, it does not.  His favorite wolf on the planet had a heart bigger than he could ever fathom, and he worried as to how she fared now that he wasn't at her side.  

Your consul has allowed me to trial for one moon cycle to decide whether or not I will be staying here, he tacks on, hoping to distract from what might have roused him so.
