Moonspear A bug in the system

Despite the pain in his leg, instinct made Gannet attempt to pull away as someone approached.  When he saw who it was, however, he relaxed only briefly; the events from the previous encounter kept him unsurprisingly on edge.

"Fine," he answered honestly.  Though the pain was bad, he didn't imagine there was much to do about it, and he didn't need anything from her currently.  Food, shelter; he imagined he'd test their patience enough in the coming weeks.  He needed to get home.

"What happened?"  Not to his leg, he knew that.  His confusion lay in other places, and he hoped she could tell him what the hell he'd stumbled into.  Why did they want to kill his brother so badly? He hadn't been able to grab much context, so much had happened so quickly.
