Atreides heard Cascade's call for all the pups and - though in a way he resented being lumped in with pups when he was nearly a year old - he knew he needed the training, especially if he was going to leave the safety of the pack when he turned a year old. Winter was a harsh time even for pack wolves... choosing to leave in the dead season without any serious hunt training would be disastrous. So when the call came he stood, stretching, to lope toward the orchard. Two of his sisters were already there and he flashed them a lopsided grin before flopping down beside them. Maybe they'd had the same thought he had? At least it was Cascade - she treated them like pups but she treated everyone that way so it was... different. And she was supposed to be pretty good at hunting, so maybe they'd learn something here.
