The silver and gold lady had been sticking close to the lands that Deuce and her had agreed they would claim for their own once they ewre able to become more than a gathering of loners trying for more. She shook her head as she sat perched on the porch of a house down the country lane she'd happened upon. The place had delighted her, running down the dirt road she'd found house after house spacing down the road and out of sight. Enough for a pack to live and still have their own privacy if needed. The large farmhouse that was just up the road from where she sat was still within view, the red barn and pastures were filled with clover and rich grasses, giving Iskata the idea to fill the field with prey for the growing band of wolves.
She could recall long ago when a wolf named Noah had the same idea and had suceeded in capturing the calm patient beasts he'd called cows, showing her other creatures that could be kept as well, ones the humans had kept for food. She'd intended to find and capture some for their pack thatway the herds could be kept close on hand as well as ranging for other foods was available. Noah had told her about how food had to be stored for the herd during the winter yet it made the cold months less of a danger to the pack in slim seasons. Her eyes danced as she made plans, knowing that she'd need help to make them happen.
She'd risen up from her perch on the deck and had made her way along the fenceline, testing the wiring that held firm and the wood that was used to keep the border of the lands. She'd loved the fact that the border was premade and that it seemed to stand the test of time. From the small stock of knowledge she knew about these things called cows it was quite easy to keep them in the fence as long as the wiring and wood held firm. There were places that may need repaired but she was okay with the work, of course at the moment she had all the time on her hands to actually do what she pleased until they were strong enough to even consider themselves a pack. Her eyes were bright as she stood on the wood railing of the fence and smiled, knowing just where there were a few cows that she could gather, though she didn't know what sort of a challenge that would be getting them within her fence here.
