Somehow the threesome had made themselves a resting place while they tried to keep up they had fallen behind. Red Doe curled her tail around the wayward pup Falling Leaf. Winters stayed a few feet away and watched through slited eyes that made her look, for all other puposes, asleep as well.
Winters rearly slept anyway. She wondered where her most respected adopted father had disappeared to. Yet, she felt if she actualy asked his wear abouts, then this would show weakness, and to her no soldier should ever show weakness.
Falling Leaf cried and whimpered. "Momma", the blindness that continualy agitated her had bested her yet again. She knew one minute she had been near her mother and then the next moment washed over her and she had lost her way from her mother again only to be dragged along in the turmoil of wolves that passed her until she bumped into Red Doe while she was crying.
