She said nothing in reply to his observation, having told him as much the day he’d sought entry into the thinning ranks. But when he questioned her about leaving, Tiuttuk felt a flash of irritation that made her hackles prickle. She grew tired of both the question and the implication.

Treepie held it, then let it out in a slow whoosh. She said nothing else, though her yellow eyes flicked inquisitively to his face to see what he made of her response.
