Now, to decisions. Raman’s departure has left her without transportation. Tikki had not minded that until now. She had not planned to go anywhere till the cub was old enough to travel and to understand about two-legs. So she has a problem. She has guns and other tools that might be useful in her hunt, but no way to carry them, no hands with which to hold, no shoulders with which to bear, unless she assumes her human guise and travels on two legs.
