Grouse Thicket Bonnie and Clyde

"Hey" she lifts her head, weariness from travel but not as bad as coming to the Teekons in the first place. Wren noticed he left and perhaps maybe hoped he would stay away. The whole disaster with Kingslend made her not blame him if he chose to go back. Without her though... would the pack accept him? Would they kill him? Would they kill her if she went back? No.

She was not going back. Nothing could make her go back. Elijah had food in his jaws, looking pleased with himself. "So you weren't faking it" she forces a tired laugh as she gets up "you're better at hunting on the ground than in the water, huh?" Approaching her friend, she reaches out to bump her nose against his shoulder in a 'good job'. Ah, she could smell the ocean as well...

It made the whole situation bittersweet.
