The captain turned his brow to the woods and gave a long sigh as his crew acted like a bunch of children discovering something new. When Jasper asked if the captain required anything of Ragnar, Calder spoke up, "He wants to gut them fish...After all hes getting old don't want him getting hurt." The captain winked at Ragnar who had been his friend long before they had all been roped into the settling operation. 

Lex lay down all the meat and he and Umbra sat next to the fire, it mattered little how others felt about his Dire wolf...She was his friend...His only true friend and he wouldn't have come unless she had been with him. When the captain spoke Lex simply smirked and lay back against Umbra like a giant fluffy pillow.
