Duke: *quietly and carefully buries the dead, then radios for some of the team to meet him at his current position - they'll gather the litter to bring back to the cabin*
Alem: *chopping wood as they approach with the pups.* What's this?
Duke: An orphaned litter of fox pups. I buried their mother. She'd been attacked by something and apparently died of her injuries.
Alem: *wipes his brow with a rag and sets the ax down. He steps over to look.* Eight. That's a big litter. You know how to care for them? *just checking*
Dmps: We were hoping you would.
DB: We couldn't just leave them!
Alem: *smiles* I will teach you. They will be yours to care for. There's even one for each of you if you think the rest of your team might be interested.
*The Braves exchange looks – they'll have to talk to the others before committing them. Dmps and DB have five in a blanket between them, and Duke is carrying the other three.*
Duke: *studies Dmps and DB, then to Alem* They'll be cared for one way or another.
*DB and Dumps nodnodnod!*
