It took a moment for Elwood to register what was going on around him. Slowly, the fur along his spine smoothed as his fury subsided. He hadn't even realized that Lagan had already fled, but he did become aware of the abrupt departures of Whip and Liffey, followed swiftly by Raven. He blinked and found Finley was suddenly pressing herself to him, wordlessly congratulating him on his unexpected victory. And in the background, Fox slid to her haunches without comment.

Elwood huffed quietly. Other than Eljay, Finley, and Fox, everyone else had left. He had almost forgotten that Fox had called them together in the first place, presumably with something to share. He nudged Finley's cheek, then turned towards the Alpha female. "You okay?" he asked; she was uncharacteristically quiet.
