"I'm sorry that we didn't inform you," Elwood said, bowing his head slightly. It had been an oversight on his part to assume that his packmates would all be aware of what was happening.

They are experienced warriors, so I'll trust their judgement," he said. He glanced at Finley, who seemed to be simmering quietly next to him, but at least wasn't quite so outwardly angry anymore.
