Heron Lake Plateau Who'd come up with a system of matrimony based on the random distribution of flowers?

Seq listened patiently as Quixote explained that he hadn't wanted to be an alpha, and it sounded like Raven hadn't wanted to, either. She wondered if her own father had ever really wanted to be a leader, or if he too had been sorta forced into it. It sounded like Raven might eventually plan to return to her position alongside Quixote, but he didn't mention any specific timeframe. Learning a little bit about the pack's history did seem important, and Sequoia figured she could somehow use it when recruiting others.

Why wouldn't you want to be a leader? she asked, though her tone was not accusatory; she was genuinely curious. If given the opportunity, Sequoia didn't think she would be able to turn it down even if she tried to. Finding out what made others tick was part of her personality, and in doing so she felt like she might make a good leader one day. Besides, she thought very highly of herself, and that would probably help, right?
