It was good to see Sialuk’s face, though she looked paler than usual. Towhee studied her for a moment before cutting her eyes away. She watched their children signing back and forth a moment, her lips twitching into a smile at the sight. Then she refocused on the pale she-wolf to catch the words she spoke.

Now her lips pulled into a moue. She felt guilty for bringing them to the copse, only for its ranks to implode.

She grimaced at herself, recognizing the absurdity of that thought.
