Be Prepared

The man set aside the hide he had been working on, and she quietly hoped that she hadn’t disrupted him, but he seemed open enough to having a conversation that she didn’t have much time to dwell on the thought. He told her he did often find himself in the Orchard, and also notified her of a nearby pack. She’d never accidentally crossed a packs border before, but she’d known some packs to get antsy if you even came close, and it was always useful information to know where packs were located.

Winter would be coming, and while she still had some time she knew it would still be too quick. Maybe they hadn’t exactly picked the best time to go their own way, but she couldn’t say she regretted her decision.
