Sun Mote Copse There's no peace in quiet

Fig had a suspicion that he understood Meerkat's and Bronco's departures. Meerkat he could see wanting to get out on her own and explore the world. Bronco because he wanted to protect her, or maybe he too wanted to get out after the hurt he'd gone through when Fenn had left. The latter likely being the case, in Fig's estimation, he decided to just nod and not elaborate on his thoughts. After all, he could've been wrong. Maybe it was meant to solidify their alliance with Moonspear. Though if that were the case, shouldn't a member of Moonspear be amongst their ranks?

It was Wraen's plight that he was more curious about. He didn't know about the bad blood between her and Moonspear, though he did suspect it from Arcturus. Why else would he leave his family? He supposed perhaps his feelings could've bled into Wraen's opinion, but it just didn't jive right. Wraen was too strong-minded to adopt anyone's opinions but her own. He missed her.

Maia made the most sense. Where Wraen went, so did her sister. He sighed. "I'm sure you're right--it's all woven in pack politics somehow," Fig commented thoughtfully, "I don't see how it hurts anything, though I also don't see the purpose. If it's driven by Meerkat and Bronce being there, it seems... one-sided. Are we allies so they'll be allowed in Moonspear's ranks? Or are we allies because we want them to be safe in Moonspear's ranks? Either way, what's really in it for Moonspear."

In spite of the suspicious undertones in his comments, he really wasn't worried about it. He was merely curious as to the psychology behind it, as he was with pretty much all things.
