Armada Expansion: Intellect

“We can do one place for both storage and protection from nature,”Kotori nodded content with the idea.  If he had an option in this he planned to spend little time on this cold waste of ground.  Sure, beaches were nice but not this one.

Mort suggested a training ground which Kotori had mixed feelings on.   A beach to fight on did feel classic but he’d rather travel back to their original home for that.  The water would wash away the blood that came frequently enough in some spars by wolves who enjoyed not holding back so much.  Still, was it all that bad to fight it out elsewhere?  Kotori looked about the place then shrugged the idea as acceptable.  He planned to find warmer place for his own fights.  

Kotori considered the idea of walls next, lips twitching after a moment.  “Build up a wall between the beach and the surrounding area.  Let there be a guarded station to get through.  If wolves want to try and get here from swimming they will be cold and wet and at our mercy.”  Would anyone really try coming through that route?  Kotori hoped so.  Just to trap them, it would be fun and if walls were built up around other sides it would be the only option.

“I say if we net an area off, make it small enough it looks boring.  Only younger kids should need a net.  Let the older ones prove they have enough common sense to decide what’s smart and handle consequences.  The world only gives so many chances after all.”  Kotori imagined the blizzard and wolves large enough to put dad’s own size to shame which had come when he was still a young child.  He imagined the year after with the night that never ended and all its threats.  What would be next?  Grow up strong and smart or you’d only make it so far.  Any child born in this pack should pick up common sense fast enough, plenty of opportunities were given.
