Osprey sensed that Peregrine was not entirely his usual bubbly self. Usually he would have asked a lot of questions, he would have talked her ears off, but here he was - polite and reserved. Didn't he have any interest in the events that had taken place at the plateau or was he holding back for different reasons? Was it her fault in any way? Then again he didn't act coldly towards her.

"Oh, come on, Perry," she sighed and leaned over to give him a nudge on his shoulder. "Saena is a big girl now and if you ask me - she has problems with attitude. If she wishes not to have any business with us - then it's her choice," Osprey told him in a tone that forbade any arguments against this opinion. "And I don't mind... of course - it's a bit odd to live in a pack and know that someone openly dislikes you, but then again I have got so many friends there and beyond," she steered the conversation to a more cheerful topic.

"You are oddly quiet though," she remarked and gave him a questioning look.
