Whitefish River I'm leaving now, as I should be

What the heck was a fireball?  Fennec's confusion was probably evident, but there was likely no way her sister could explain what had happened that would make it make sense.  At least she said it came from far away, and it sounded like it was gone now.

Good idea.  She almost cracked a joke about how maybe Niamh had sent something after them, but realized just before opening her mouth she had no idea how Alyx's leaving went.

I mean, obviously well, because she was here.  Still.  How'd they take the news?  Did dad yell?  The first time Fennec "told" then she was leaving, he'd lit into her pretty good.  It felt like he'd chilled out since then, but she wondered if that was because it was her or if that was a thing in general.  She was kind of making a habit of it at this point!  It was just so much easier than asking (if she wasn't going to listen to them anyway).
