The situation progressed before Elwood's eyes, without any of his direct input. He paid close attention to Towhee's body language and words, although he knew to disregard her tone of voice. At the same time, he also took note of the way Colt reacted to the youth and her verdict. It may have seemed a little odd for the Alpha male to be taking the backseat, but he suspected Colt could understand that this was part of Towhee's training.

When she gave him a month to prove himself in their ranks, Elwood nodded subtly in response to Towhee's quick glances in his direction. "Well, you heard her," he said, bobbing his head in a more noticeable manner and casting an amiable smile in his brother-in-law's direction. "I usually advise newcomers to get to know the leaders as soon as possible," he said, sharing this tidbit of information mostly for Towhee's benefit. "But in your case, you just need to check in with your sister," he added with a knowing expression. Finley would certainly be surprised to find Colt among their ranks.
