Her time with the firebirds had been rather fun and exciting, actually. But the moment Peregrine and Fox reappeared in the doorway, that joy disappeared. Their faces reminded her of the horrible incident that had brought her there in the first place, and immediately her features fell to sorrow.

Fin cast a glance down at the pups to make sure she had successfully rounded up all three before pushing herself up onto all fours and moving away to allow Fox to take her place. She gazed mournfully at her friend as they traded places, leaning forward to nuzzle gently at her cheek before moving towards Peregrine to do the same. As the pair of parents settled down in their home besides their remaining children, Fin watched solemnly.

After a few moments, she dipped her muzzle and slipped away. She had wanted to tell them she was sorry, that she was there for them the moment they needed her. But none of it was necessary. They knew already. And so, Fin left them in silence - darting quickly and quietly across the territory back home to her own den where she would find her Elwood and fill him in on the terrible things that had happened to their friends that afternoon.
