Three new fishing baskets had been crafted since her discovery in the long slice of river that was inside the fort walls. Hopefully, even throughout the winter, the pack would have a source of food from the fish. If one of the big males could somehow break a few holes in the ice without making the ice cave in totally, Dixie and Fia, being small females, could do all of the ice walking and fishing. It seemed like a pretty decent idea to the small white woman, so she’d go to Jazper or Anann later to present it for consideration.
She was running around in a field about five miles away from the fort, in Optime form, when she heard the call coming from quite a ways away. Head snapping up, she listened for a few moments and grinned when the sound registered in her brain. It was Cain, the large black and red, one eyed male she’d met at the borders a while back. Perhaps he needed help with something, and though she wasn’t very big or strong, she had a set of skills that could be helpful in any number of situations. Dropping her body down into Secui form, she stretched and then took off, running towards the howl.
Wayne hadn’t been all that thrilled when she had grown a bit distant from him. The whole situation with Helotes had caused her to become a little wary of touching men for a while. Not that she was scared of the large Labrador man; his touches were just a bit uncomfortable at the moment. Taking some time away from him was her way of dealing with and thinking about what had happened and what it meant. Keeping herself busy with things related to the pack, liking finding new sources of food and cleaning or building was both constructive and gave her time to wonder about what Helotes had been trying to do and why he got so angry after she asked him to move.
Running as quickly as she could push her short but strong legs, it didn’t take very long for her to reach the general area where Cain was located. Once she could smell him on the breeze, she yipped softly and looked around, wondering what he wanted.
