Sakari breathed in deeply, searching for the best way to spin it. To tell the truth, even if the Listener had been willing to release the pups, Sakari wouldn't have taken them. Like hell she was going to assume sole responsibility for children who had such a talent for getting themselves into trouble. 

Fury filled in the blanks for herself, which relieved Sakari. 

"Panacea is ill, but recovering. He should be able to travel soon. Blackwater did request to foster the pups for several more moons though. They intend to begin working with them on trades." Sakari did not know Fury well enough to know if she would go for this. However, she did know enough to feel confident that Fury would not shoot the messenger, even if it was not a proposal that pleased her.
