She was right about Raven. But Raven was both their mother and their sister, and Phox didn't imagine she would actually kick them out. Besides, he wasn't about to let Raven and Tegan make any decisions for them. Phox wanted to leave on his own terms. But maybe that just wasn't possible. Maybe there were too many things working against them now. If it had just been him and Towhee, things would have been a whole lot different. Figment and Fenton were their primary reason for leaving, and they would need to be kept safe.

Unaware that they were surfing the same brainwaves, Phox spoke again. What if the pups' rendezvous site wasn't here? When I was scouting, I found a nice, open forest east of here. What if we move them there? he asked. He wasn't sure if that meant "today" or just "soon," but he could at least envision them settling there.
