Swiftcurrent Creek elephants with lights

I'll try to keep this thread a priority, since it's time-sensitive. :)

"I take it you are leaving with Jinx," she said. It would be a surprise if he was not leaving. The same went for Ira, and although Fox had little interaction with Sitri, the male seemed far closer to Jinx than Fox. "You have had ample time to tie up any loose ends, and so I must ask that you leave." No hint of anger laced her voice. Fox was calm, collected, and cool. There was no reason to resist this change, for it had already happened in some ways.

Before he had a chance to turn away, Fox spoke again. "I do not believe I ever properly thanked you for helping me after the cougar," she said. Gratitude was not something that Fox gave out often, and she wondered if Lecter knew this. "You served Swiftcurrent well, and I know you will continue to serve Jinx well, too." The shaman was an old man, and Fox was unsure how long he would survive, but she assumed that he would do Jinx well. It was a shame the creek would lose its only qualified healer.
