Heron Lake Plateau now i’m free from what you are

Towhee scowled at the delay as the leaders got in their last licks and Caiaphas felt the need to rejoin as if it made any difference. "Move," she said in her overly loud timbre, "now." Her lips skinned back even more and she growled in warning. She didn't want to fight the former Theta, she just wanted to remove her from the territory as quickly as possible. Accordingly, she moved nearer, bodily crowding into her space to make herself crystal clear.

When someone rushed up from one of her many blind spots, Towhee's growl escalated into a savage snarl. It was one of Caiaphas's young, pressing close to her. Luckily for him, she was able to check the reactive instinct to attack. Towhee couldn't care less if he went with Caiaphas. There had never been any love lost between her and the outsider's brood.

After recovering from his abrupt appearance, Towhee continued to press close to the exiled. Hopefully they would cooperate, though if they failed to do so, the mercenary wasn't afraid to use her teeth, even on the pup.
