"Then it will be hard on you again, Uncle Thomas. But I think you should take Chief Queen or Chief Karin with you; it will certainly be more persuasive."
Eric had an idea and offered a suggestion to Thomas.
Relying on Thomas alone wasn't very persuasive, but if either Karin or Queen went along, it could significantly shift the attitude of the other Snow Wolf tribes.
Although everyone knew their relationship was good, they couldn't just lead their whole tribe into danger.
Thomas also felt this was a good idea: "Eric is right. Taking the two of them along will make the other Snow Wolves trust us more."
After Thomas left happily, Eric kept making more milk candy, wrapping them in non-toxic leaves to prepare for Thomas to take along.
Milk candy could represent the wealth of the Hadu tribe and build good relationships with the cubs, thereby lowering the Snow Wolves' guard - killing two birds with one stone.
