Apparently Finley could forgive, so she simply had to take Colt's word for it. Maybe after all this time, having given the den area lots of distance, she'd have won herself a clean slate- but there was no real way to know that without finding Finley to see- and she wasn't exactly eager to do that, either. Elwood seemed pretty cool, so maybe if she was able to talk to him and prove herself to him, she'd get noticed by the family's matriarch.

My brother and I left together, but he's starting some pack of his own like, a month's travel or so away from here. But I like what I've got going." She said.
