Heron Lake Plateau Sometimes we're only flying for a while

Set at some point after the Towhee/Raven/Quixote/Finley thread! Hope my assumptions are okay, but if not just let me know! :D

It had been a loooong time since Elwood had seen @Finley as mad as she had been an hour ago.

She had whirled into the densite with all the force of a hurricane, her anger evident in every fiber of her being. Frustration crackled in the air around her, but it was coupled with a deep sense of disappointment. Having known her for years, Elwood recognized when it was time to let her calm herself down before trying to talk it out -- so he had retreated a short distance from the den, keeping a watchful eye on his mate as well as his two boys (in case they tried to take advantage of the moment and make a break for it).

When he thought that maybe enough time had passed for her to cool her jets, he called out, "Fin? Do you want to talk about it...?"
