Swiftcurrent Creek Home is where the heart lives.

Sorry y'all. I'll only be able to manage to squeeze in this post!
Feel free to skip me for the rest of the thread.

Even though they were finally returning home, Leaf felt a heavy weight in her heart. Something was not right about the situation, but she could not pinpoint what. The flurry of activity at The Sunspire had been of little interest to her, and she had retreated to the company of her own mind as they decided what to do with her and Magpie. They were but a small part of something much bigger, and even the little red captive's ego-centrism was not great enough to deny this. So when Bazi appeared without Fox, Leaf finally perked up interest. Turning to glance at Magpie, she gave a quizzical look before stifling a whine. Yes, maybe Fox was still recovering from her injury from Ferdie. That must have been it. But even the way the former Beta held herself seemed different. Sucking in a deep breath, a few of her ribs showing, she decided to remain silent. There was already so much noise.
