This'll be the last one from me. <3

Raven was getting very tired again, and she could feel the warm, muzzy edges of sleep beginning to slither into her consciousness. The loss of blood had left her weak and drained of all energy so that even a short conversation was exhausting -- let alone an emotionally taxing one like this had been -- so she relaxed into Quixote's side and remained quiet while the others sorted everything out. She felt a warm sense of gladness when Qui told her he wouldn't be going. She would have supported his choice either way, but truthfully she had hoped he would stay.

As Towhee was nudging her cheek to leave, she signed to her sister, -I love you, be careful-. Then Niamh approached her, and the gamma's words touched her heart. She shook her head, refusing to accept Niamh's apology. "You have nothing to be sorry for, sweetie," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "Keep each other safe, okay?" She smiled and licked Niamh's chin, the tip of her tail twitching in her best attempt at a wag. She would have time later to feel regret about the situation and question the wisdom of sentencing her brother to death, but for now, all she cared about was that they return to her safe and healthy.
