Heron Lake Plateau Everything means something and something has occurred

The news of Niamh stepping down didn't strike Finley as strange or surprising or even remotely interesting, really. She liked her sister-in-law alright, but something about her struck Fin as a little unstable. Seeing as none of the current leaders had lead the pack to absolute disaster, it didn't much matter to her who was stepping down, only who would step up. Thus, when she happened to spy Quixote in the distance, she moved to approach him with her usual friendly smile and unconcern for the troubles of the world.

But then.. Towhee.

Fin had taken only a few steps before her goddaughter appeared with Phox not far behind. She could tell by their body language that there was tension, and right on cue, both kids went a little off the rails at their fearless leader.

Finley paused then, thinking.

She could keep going and try to give the poor guy some support...

Or she could bail...

It took about ten seconds before Fin made up her mind, abruptly turned, and trotted off in the opposite direction (hopefully unseen). She didn't want none of this mess.
