Heron Lake Plateau Sometimes we're only flying for a while

Cinder was still for her, blinking sweetly up at his papa with a curious tilt of his head. It was clear he didn't understand what was happening here, but seemed perfectly content to be used as a shield so long as he didn't actually have to fend off his father. Fin had no intention of actually making him do that, though. And once she heard her mate's ever calm and patient response, she gave a defeated sigh and nudged the boy away, freeing him to wander away and begin sniffing at the grass.

Her eyes were reluctant to find Elwood's face, but they eventually made their way up there. Fin looked back towards the ground again after only a few seconds, not wanting to actually see his emotions written on his face as she told him what had happened. Not unless his tone suggested a similar outrage... Wouldn't that be something.

"Towhee apparently has decided to step down," Fin told him, "She told me that she's giving the pack to Raven and Quixote, after everything..." She didn't bother to explain the everything, assuming Elwood would not have forgotten the war and the move and the running off of her brother. "Oh, Raven's pregnant too," she added as an afterthought, which it was still. It was a small thing caught up in the wake of the typhoon in her head over this Towhee jumping ship issue, though it did make her more comfortably aware of Tywyll's snuggles.
