Broken Boulder lonely and dreamin' of the west coast

She shifts more naturally in place as Olive arrives.  She returns the soft touch of Olive's nose by leaning into her, and makes to return the cordiality before Alarian drops the bomb.

Oh.  She's never been a woman suited for leadership.  In Sunspire, it had been more than apparent that her efforts were unappreciated.  She'd helped to found the pack and scout in their beginnings, and she'd arranged the alliance between Sunspire and Tindome.  She had fought off intruders who'd trespassed not once but twice and now had a nasty facial scar to prove it.

She'd been allowed to keep her children, but she'd always occupied the lowest ranks of the mountain, and she felt like she'd been shamed where Terance had gotten off scot-free — why else would nobody have come to visit?  Seabreeze wasn't important to Sunspire.  

But if this was the universe's way of making up for things, she.. didn't know how to feel about it.  It was obvious Alarian needed help, but this?  Oh, she says softly before she follows it with a quick nod.  Of course.  The Sanctuary had taken in her children without a second thought.  She was forever indebted to them.

I'd be honored to.. take the position of Consultant.  She takes a shaky breath and leans against Olive.  And as your consultant.. do you think it's a good idea to stay here?  The cats aren't leaving, they're dying...  She shuffles.  Maybe we should consider moving.
