What is a Slave?

She was trying to snatch sidelong glances at the fur, wondering if there were any in deepest black - ideally a bear of course. The woman seemed determined to make a trade, and willing to take Caspa on her honour. This was fitting. Nowhere else would she find a creature with such a tenacious sense of honour. Because of this, Caspa was wary of pledging herself unless she knew exactly what was expected. "That is a generous offer. What did you have in mind?"


The other wolf then emerged from behind the wagon and Caspa squinted with concern at his chest-scars, not noticing the rest of the little cuts straight away. She could smell something of his anxiety on the air, and assumed the trading troop had been the victim of a recent attack. "Hello," she said, moving to the side of Amy so he could see her solitary and sapling-slender figure properly - there was nothing to fear from Caspa, without her poisonous knives equipped. Even those long and powerful jaws had so rarely been used for their intended purpose - killing. "I am Caspa, a courtier of this pack." The word courtier was wonderfully peaceful sounding, and she hoped it helped calm him. "Do you two travel alone?" The scents aboard the wagon were as mixed as a group of traders could be expected to be, with goods that had changed hands or different packlands visited. It didn't occur to her to fear them even for a moment. She had the weight of her pack behind her, and they had already taught their more aggressive neighbours that it didn't pay to tangle with the Court wolves.
