Heron Lake Plateau fake happy

Gonna try to keep up but if I'm too slow then please feel free to skip me!

Elwood was somewhere nearby, and the sound of voices near his family's temporary den drew his attention. He approached to find Clover, Towhee, and Finley conversing just outside the mouth of the burrow, and a quick glance told him that Tywyll and Cinder were safely ensconced inside. It was unlikely that either of them would be able to make any sort of escape, as both parents were keeping a close eye on the boys after the eagle incident.

He was able to hear what Clover said as he came to a halt, and while he didn't say anything just yet, he nodded his understanding with a frown. Finley gave a simple reply, and then they both shifted their gaze to Towhee, who looked like she had something to say but hadn't spoken up yet.
