" Two Bears sat down again and was surprised that no one else rose to announce a similar commitment. There was more discussion, having mostly to do wi...th sending out runners to call for a larger gathering of tribal councils. When the council disbanded, Two walked back to his lodge. He worried about how Willow would accept his decision to go North to help those people, strangers, that he didn't even know."You stood up in council and told them all that you would go? Most hunters would have taken. Nemesis was working to get Nightmare to trust her armor completely. Nightmare still had a tendency to flinch whenever she was hit by a knife or club, and Nemesis was trying to get her over that so that she could fight more efficiently.

What about it, would we change our mind?I had to decline for us but told her to save the kraut for the next day, since it tasted much better after reheating in any case."Oh, we are not allowed to serve leftovers at all,.
