Blacktail Deer Plateau Heart weighs a ton

Tytonidae heeded the call without a worry in the world. She occasionally thought of the boy who lived on The Sunspire, but besides her father's (and his two lovers') absence, the plateau had been peaceful and normal. Ty consulted with her (imaginary) friends on whether it was too soon to go back and visit her friend, but her father's call kept her from coming to a conclusion just yet.

When she arrived, and Peregrine began speaking, Ty didn't feel abandoned. He was simply leaving, like all the rest of her family had done. In order to avoid any pain, Ty had convinced herself that everybody was supposed to leave at some point or another. A couple of strangers spoke, but they didn't say anything of terrible importance, and Ty awaited to be dismissed. She lacked the intuition to realize that the silence was an uncomfortable one when Blue and Dante failed to speak.

But it was Saena's voice that caught her attention, and Ty wrinkled her brow at the red-tipped girl. "Don't worry, Dad, I know you care. I want to stay here, though. I'll come visit lots!" Ty promised. If the pack's primary gamekeeper was now moving on, they would need somebody to take his place. And while she still had plenty of work to do, Tytonidae thought she would some day be able to fill his shoes.
