Or a candle dancing on the breeze

Her line was reasonable, and she had done all she could it seemed by explaining herself. The rest would really be up to Saena. He would do as Osprey wished and stay out of it... again, only so long as it did not affect the pack's welfare. "I can't imagine," he said in response to her comment on the 'disowned family members' party. After all, he'd been the one to initiate his own disownment, and he still counted it as one of the best decisions he'd ever made. "Definitely glad to avoid it though." He'd already chased one of her nieces away and he'd hate to do the same to another.

Then her tone went back to jovial, and the conversation consciously switched from Saena's ire to other topics. He went along happily, glad not to dwell. "Are you sure I'm not? What a disappointment. Think of what I could do if I was! Again, not so great for my rank, but that might be even better than upside down for seeing a different perspective." To be able to go anywhere, see anything, completely unhampered by borders. It would be a lonely and terrifying life, but an interesting one so long as it did not last too long.
