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

@Tywyll @Cinder we're totally PPing you guys, lol, so feel free to cameo/pop in if you want! :)

Elwood didn't speak immediately as Finley drew herself slowly out of the den. He watched with a guarded expression as she settled with Cinder between her forelegs, as though using the puppy as a barrier between herself and the difficult conversation she didn't want to have. His gaze shifted from her face only long enough to take note of Tywyll's location nearby, and then he looked back at Finley when she admitted that she wasn't ready to tell him what had happened, although her tone of voice was that of a little kid who knows she's in trouble.

"I can wait," he said, raising his brows slightly. He could stretch his patience to seemingly limitless amounts, but he also knew that she would come clean sooner or later, with or without his coaxing.
