I opened my mouth to argue, then realised he had a point. "I was curious about what you were doing."

"And now you know. I'm watching Cassidy teach the younger pack members about local plant identification for their survival training."

"How do you know that's what she's teaching?"

"Because I asked her yesterday what she had planned for today." Caius took another sip of wine, still not looking away from the window. "She's incredibly knowledgeable about native flora. Did you know she can identify over two hundred medicinal plants just by their leaves?"
