Hushed Willows ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Okay, technically Mali's flyby was happening a little earlier than this post but eh, you'll figure it out, right?  He'd been raiding a cache -- it wasn't like he could contribute -- and it was probably freak luck that the meeting was on the way, but he was in no hurry.  Since it had been Lily who called he was slightly less hesitant about showing his face, but when he got there, Olive and Seabreeze were being all mushy or whatever.  At a fair distance still and with a hare in his mouth, he had no desire to go any closer, veering away to a farther path as he continued on to somewhere more secluded to eat.  He wasn't gonna deal with them.  He hadn't even seen Brilliance was there as when he'd paused, she was out of sight thanks to a bush.

They had no right to be so cheery. Things were still wrong and nobody seemed to care any more.
