What as the point in trying? Warden was Romin's clear favorite from birth. Sheriff led them all out of the den when they were pups, and Elmrust praised him, saying he'd be a great leader one day. Sargent and Judge laid around in the sun, complaining when any of the mentors wanted to pull them out for some hunting practice, or to practice medicine and hiding. Judge is pretty sure there's enough hunters in the pack already, "and it's not even like I eat a lot. There's always enough prey, anyways."
Romin says Judge should watch over pups, then. "Contribute to the pack, Judge," as if that's motivating. Romin asked Soup to take Judge out to look for herbs. So far, it's the only thing Judge seems to kind of like. She is close to Sargent and likes his idea not to put effort into anything, scorning her mother as much as she can.
