Redhawk Caldera Be like Elsa, let it go.

Her orange eyes roved over the crowd, assessing reactions. Towhee had blindsided them, more or less, and it would probably take more than thirty seconds for most members to process. There were only two that offered up verbal replies: Fiadh and Eljay. She could only concentrate on one at a time, so the Alpha picked her younger sister. She could appreciate her fieriness and dedication, though nothing would change the leader's mind now.

Her mouth opened to respond to Fiadh when she realized that several eyes were on Elwood. She turned in time to catch most of his statement: "—ourselves in a lot of danger before—and even though we forced Blackfeather out of their territory, they came back. I don't think it's a good idea to fight them again—or to stay here." Towhee nodded at him, then repeated the gesture more emphatically as her attention returned to the gathering.

"It's going to be hard, leaving this place, setting up a new home. But we're going to get out of this war zone, once and for all," Towhee added to her uncle's words before unwittingly quoting some famous Kansas lyrics to the Redhawks: "And there'll be peace when we are done."

This can be a wrap post, or you're still welcome to post reactions. Happy to continue. :)
