Greatwater Lake jack-o-lanterns in july.

Fin gave Magpie a deadpan stare as the yearling responded in the same snotty brat sort of way that she was beginning to suspect all kids these days were guilty of. Her mind slipped back to Junior and Saena and how they'd behaved towards her while she was laid up at the Plateau. They'd been pretty bitchy too even though they, much like Magpie, had little reason to be. Were Fin less confident of a wolf, she might have pouted over how mean all these freakin' teenagers were to her. Instead, she simply resolved to beat the crap out of Peregrine and Fox if they let this next batch of kiddies grow up to have such sour attitudes.

"Well if I didn't have such a grumpy ass piece of baggage to carry, I'd already be there and back," Fin grumbled back, rolling her eyes. Just because she wasn't really offended by the girl's treatment didn't mean she wouldn't stoop to her level to give it back to her. "And for the record, I couldn't sleep last night because you were snoring so loudly," she added after a beat, even though it wasn't at all true. It just sounded like a good excuse. Way better than the truth, which was that Fin was making a mental note to quit being such an awkward creep when she thought others weren't looking.. ehehehehe.

"What's so important at the Sunspire anyway?" Fin asked shortly after her jab, wanting to move the conversation away from the path it had taken. She was rather curious about it too. Fox hadn't provided any details about why they were doing what they were, just told her to do it.
