Heron Lake Plateau they rush to tell, they rush to say

Sorry for the hold-up! Was on vacation. :)

Raven became aware of Elwood's approach a few moments after she had arrived herself, and she felt exponentially more comfortable with the elder Blackthorn at her side. He was more experienced than she in dealing with situations such as this, and she'd always looked up to her uncle and taken comfort in his presence. She leaned into his shoulder bump with a subtle grin directed at him, indicating her delight with a waving of her tail.

She turned her attention to the strangers, who introduced themselves as Coelho and Pyro, and the former quickly explained why they were there. It didn't take her long at all to recall Rannoch, the friendly wolf from Moonspear whose neck wound she had treated many months past. Only he wasn't with Moonspear now. Sunspire, was it? Another mountain, she presumed, and clearly he was the leader there now if he was sending messengers on errands. Coelho asked if they were the leaders, and Raven nodded to the affirmative. "Yes.
My mate, @Quixote, and I lead this pack. This is Elwood, our advisor. I know Rannoch." The latter was spoken with warmth and familiarity as a smile flickered at the edges of her lips. She had liked the affable young wolf, and was glad he had apparently healed from his wounds.
