Lucretzia had been a bit wistful watching Noreen leave with Cyd to go scouting but when they returned she wondered if perhaps she had not gotten the better of it by staying. Cyd espcialliy seemed out of sorts and when he barked at George in the fashion he did, it gave her pause. Is that how she sounded to others when she got impatient in arguinga point? She hoped not, but since that thought was with her, she proceeded with a little more care. She had briefly tried to make the case for coming up with a more permanent solution to traversing the frozen stream but in the end she was persuaded that mice were counting on the mail and they must stay true to their purpose. She waited until Cyd and Noreen had weighed in on the climb before adding her own observations to the mix, pointing out to George all the sign of other creatures that had crossed and the paths they had chosen.<br/><br/>(hunter skill)
