Shaking Earth and Thundering Bosk

::He was curious, given the massive shaking of the earth that had happened the night before, so Teng went seeking a yearkeeper. He asked questions about past migrations, and the severe conditions of this one. There was little the Elder could share with the young Commander, so he wished him a safe day and was off. During his patrols he pondered the events of the night before. He'd learned much from Ayguili and the herdsmen as they worked together to bring the bosk safely back behind the wagons. He was proud of the way his men worked together as a team, both in stopping the stampeding bosk and in the wagon to wagon search afterward. Many concerns etched his face, for Cana, for the beasts in their care, for the People. He'd give his all to ensure the tribe arrived safely in the northern pastures. With much intensity he went about his daily scouting, then as darkness again began to fall on the plains he headed for the central fires.::
