Emberwood command, option, escape

Excusing Lasher here so I don't overly powerplay him in this thread. Ebony, feel free to drop him back in if you want to. :)

None of them were at each other's throats, so that was a good sign. Although Lasher and Fox didn't outright forgive one another in a heartfelt display, they were amiable enough and caused no verbal or physical conflicts just yet. After taking a drink and listening to Peregrine's comment, Lasher excused himself (presumably to take a piss or a poo), leaving Fox and Peregrine to their own devices. Once he had departed, Fox turned to Peregrine, water still dripping from her chin. “True,” she replied. “But I didn’t expect to find our home as soon as we stepped outside the plateau.”

She paused, glancing around and wondering if they would even find anything at all. It was quite possible they would come back empty handed (pawed?) and resolve to stay at the plateau after all. She knew that was one possible outcome, but she couldn't stand the thought of not trying to look around for something better. She was the ambitious sort, after all.
