Sun Mote Copse You hit me once, I hit you back

Towhee squinted at Niamh, mostly because of the rain but also because of her words. Her narrowed eyes shifted to Phox, who seemed to be of a similar mind. Her wet ears fell back, surprised at both of them. Didn't they care to let their wayward children know where to find them, so they wouldn't try to visit the copse, only to find it underwater, with no sign of their loved ones? And risk getting washed away themselves in the process?

-"Once we figure this shit out, I'll go to Moonspear myself,"- she said, her demeanor brooking no argument. She liked to consult with them as much as possible but she was still the Alpha, the law. -"Can one of you guys send out a call to get the rest of the pack here so we can all go together?"-

She glanced over at Quetzal again, motioning for the pup to come join them. She would likely think it was a big adventure. And Phox was probably right about Alyx. What would the rest of the pack think? Would anyone argue with the leaders' decision? What the hell would Towhee do if anyone tried to stay behind? What happened if they got separated? A million other thoughts ran through her mind and she clenched her jaw, drops of rain sluicing off every inch of her body as she did her best to prepare herself.
