Kaishe padded calmly into camp, a mouse and a songbird hanging from her jaws - both limp and slightly bloody. She had gone out on a little hunting trip of her own to catch some miniscule snacks - the food pile for the pack was already full enough, though it decreased quickly. Tomorrow she might have to go out again and bring back a small caribou or elk, if none of the others hunters brought back anything good. The black-faced she-wolf dropped the small catch inside her den, nosing some strong-smelling leaves on top to ward off bugs and little critters. Her den was fair, size enough for her and one other wolf if she chose to share. Right now though, all the other dens were filled up with wolves, and no one needed the extra space her shelter could offer. Kaishe shook her brown-grey fur and watched the others mull around, her bright orange-amber eyes gleaming.
Darnell sorted through his assortment of leaves, herbs, berries, roots, and insects - repeating the name and purpose of each in his head. Zina, his teacher and the lead healer, was going to be quizzing him on it a bit later. Studying really helped him, and after all, if he wanted to be a great and renowned healer like Zina, he was going to have to know his stuff. If he didn't, wolves could die. The fighters often got more than just scrapes and bruises when they were defending the territory, and then there were the diseases and parasites and sicknesses to fight off.
