Another said, “Postures.”

“Wolfsong!”

A girl pointed to the supplies on the table. “Wolf knots.”

Farook nodded. “And the beads themselves. What else?”

Nobody spoke.

Coop thought they were missing something obvious. “Given names. And pack names.”

Torloo beckoned for more.

Farook’s tail swung high. “Good! What else?”

“Marking fire hydrants.”

Which triggered a horrified silence.

Torloo suggested, “Scent.”

“Umm… yeah,” Coop quickly agreed. “I definitely meant scent.”
