Verdigris Ravine Flux

The Rainteller made a quiet addition to the meeting, much like her siblings; gathered in the quiet understanding that it was for the adults to speak and to make decisions. Secretly she hated the thought of living in the dark, all tucked away where no one would ever find them. But who was she to contradict the word of her mother?

It was Brac who spoke against their parents' decision. Ebra's eyes were big and somewhat disbelieving as they found her brother. She'd thought the Cavetreader would welcome such secretive dwellings.

Her gaze lingered on him in surprise only for a moment. She watched her parents next, taking in her father's pride and his promise even as she looked too for her mother's response.
