Heron Lake Plateau Motivation proclamation

Figured I could wrap this up!

Their children would each process the news differently; Elwood knew that. Some would want to talk about things, while others would choose to brood over it individually. For now, it seemed that most of them were accepting of the information (at least, accepting enough to not have any crazy outbursts right now), and he watched as Towhee and Phox melted away together first.

He cast a glance over the rest of the crew, then said, "Feel free to come talk to us about this, if you want." His gaze lingered pointedly in Tegan's direction, and then he beckoned Finley to follow him. It was hard to walk away from the kids, but he knew it had to be done if they were going to encourage their independence with this move.
