Redhawk Caldera The faith that sets you free

Elwood agreed to providing her requests, and Fin gave him a proud smile and a wag of her tail in response.  When his expression stilled, so did hers as curiosity took hold of her.  She had no idea what to expect when she lowered her gaze to the ground as he gestured, but her brows lifted the moment she set her eyes upon the small gemstone at his feet.  Her gaze traced the lines of rust and porcelain that shined in the sunlight.  It was definitely pretty and she definitely liked it, but before she had a chance to show her gratitude, Elwood was offering an explanation for it.

Fin kept her gaze upon Elwood's face up until the moment Somnia's name came into the conversation, at which point she cast her eyes solidly upon the gem.  Her ears tipped backwards as he spoke, catching every word.  So, the former gamma had helped him find this for her...  Fin wasn't certain how to feel about that.  She'd thought such horrible things about the girl... That she'd been trying to undermine their relationship and Fin's standing with the pack, that she had wanted to tear her and Elwood apart so that she could take him for herself.  She'd only pretended to be Finley's friend so that she could figure out how to destroy her.

But now, knowing that she'd actually help him make this beautiful gesture... Fin didn't know what to say.

So, word vomit seemed like a good option.

"She was trying to break us up, Elwood!" Fin blurted suddenly, lifting her gaze back to his face with anger and hurt in her eyes.  Meanwhile, Stevie facepalms out of embarrassment.
