Moonspear ^___________________________^

Treepie didn’t realize she’d gone stiff until Pala’s next several words relieved the tension. It was so heartening to hear that. She felt much more reassured now and nodded. That made a lot of sense. Pie knew what it was like to be caught in a negative mindset and couldn’t fault the other woman for it.

Then her whole body went even more rigid than before when Pala went on to declare her plans to depart Moonspear. The Regent had not anticipated that and it showed when her head reared back. Her lips parted, though she was at a loss for words as she scrambled to reel in her thoughts.

Wait, what? Why? Pie demanded, her stomach tying itself in a knot as she wondered if she to was blame for this decision.
