It had been a solitary journey and an equally solitary return until he had run into Sparky at the camp's entrance, where she had whisked him off to the side and spoken to him about what it was that he required her to help with. Despite the uncertainty that continued to make itself unbearably present in his paws, such an unfamiliar feeling, part of him felt relief that his leader was so willing to offer him aid when she could so easily turn away, deeming this his responsibility, his problem. Quiet, his attention shifted then to the bustle of camp- what to do, what to do- where to start?
