Ezra watched as Eli’s tried to fling the mud he had gathered on his paws away from him, but it seemed to just make the russet boy dirtier. Ezra chuckled and chose to let his son struggle, finding a valuable lesson in it and some amusement.
The group continued on, and after some time the dark non-Rosen mentioned seeing bears. You think so? Ezra indulged Teme in the idea, but knew that was highly unlikely. If Ezra smelled any bears in their vicinity Ezra would go in the exact opposite direction. He enjoyed taking care of Teme but wasn’t about to put his life in danger. Bears and wolves didn’t interact much and Ezra preferred to keep the beasts as far away from him and his family as possible.
Ezra hadn’t yet ventured this deep into the packlands, so he was unsure of where to direct the young boys. The other members had mentioned some of the beautiful land outside of the Commune, but between babysitting and fixing his house he hadn’t much time to explore his new home. Where to, boys? He left it open-ended; perhaps the boys would prefer to direct where they went and Ezra just quite frankly didn’t know anywhere special to go.This way! Eli shouted excitedly, suddenly turning right and heading into a particularly dark patch of old-growth woods.
