strange places

Tiger? The name seemed to be fitting, especially once she pointed out the stripe down her back. He wasn't sure how he hadn't noticed that before, but he craned his neck to look at it as she spoke. He almost missed the next thing she said: "She's got one, too. Her name's Finley..." Wait, WHAT?

Elwood essentially did a double-take, blinking hard and refocusing his gaze on Tiger's face. Finley? His Finley? How many Finleys could there be in the world? -- and, besides, his grey-furred girlfriend did have a dark stripe down her back, though it blended more with her fur than Tiger's did. He gaped at female, probably looking like an idiot, but he didn't care.

"Finley Blackthorn? Are you serious?" he said, a slow smile spreading across his face. Had he really just stumbled across Finley's sister? What a small freaking world! Without waiting for a response from Tiger, he said, "Finley is my girlfriend! She and I are the Betas of our pack -- you have to come back with me, right now!" Honestly, he couldn't believe their luck -- what were the odds? -- and he knew very little about Finley's family, but she would be excited to see her sister, right?
