Heron Lake Plateau Motivation proclamation

A call from Elwood wasn't what Phox had expected, but then again, he wasn't sure what he expected these days. Camilla seemed to be safe, at least for the time being, Niamh was still an emotional wreck as far as he knew, and everything at the Redhawks was going as usual: a total mess. Phox arrived shortly thereafter, having been close by checking on a cache. His ears perked up upon seeing Elwood, then he glanced (and winced) at Cinder's bobbed tail.

Cinder was alive, but he hadn't come out unscathed. The same could be said for Phox, who now sported a rather ugly scar on the left side of his face, courtesy of Camilla's kidnapper.
