Hushed Willows ho-ho lunges for the pie.

hey pals! I know it's not my turn, but I just wanted to post to keep this moving along. Kind of a very important thread for Poe :D @Khali @Silas

Even as Poe asked, she had a feeling the answer would not be a positive one. Her mother had been hopeful that the pack would remain, but her father had shared a different perspective when Harlyn had been out of earshot. Poe tried to study Khali's face to see what the answer was before he spoke, but was shortly distracted by the approach of another.

Had she not been so eager to hear the answer to her question, she might've taken a moment to notice his features more. Had she paid more attention to him, she might've noticed how perfectly he matched Harlyn's description of her older brother. Hell, she might've noticed the look of shock on his face and let that give her some clue.

But she didn't. Poe merely gave him her usual winning, friendly smile, and looked back at Khali.
