-Verand and Kit's decision to go back to Sanctuary is 100% motivated by a desire to redeem themselves, but Uno (rightly) worries that they're just being reckless in a different direction now, and might bring humans back to the pack's new hiding place, too.

-Uno discovers Kit and Verand's plan because Radun snitches; she's glad that Verand and her made up, but suspicious about the timing of the conversation.

-Rover and Maize have a close but somewhat tense relationship. Rover, too frail to really be scouting any more, understands some of Maize's frustration with being too physically weak to have 'a job' in the pack, though the two often butt heads (they're both strong-willed, stubborn wolves, and Rover is often condescending or awkward with Maize).

-Maize is not suited to being a pupsitter, and does not enjoy it. She's been shuttled into the role because she's not really capable of hunting, scouting, or foraging, but it's an awful fit for her. Finch, her father and a longtime pupsitter, tries to help reconcile her to the role, but the two usually just end up fighting.

-Dace and Eight are split up when the pack divides into groups, and Dace is like unbearably mopey about it even though they're not technically mates (with her friends-- as a leader she does her best to put on a serious, untroubled front).

-Dace and Verand become close friends, Dace taking on something of an older sibling or mentor role. She knows some of what Verand is feeling right now, trying so hard to prove herself.

-Jumper is very nice but kind of useless. He agrees to help with hunting but he's almost comically bad at it-- and similarly bad at scouting, foraging, and pupsitting. Everyone's baffled by him, wondering how he got so big and survived so long as a loner when he's this bad at everything.
