Sun Mote Copse throwing up the west side as we tear in the air

She couldn't help the glimmer of satisfaction as he left, obviously bested, though she was nonchalant as she shrugged.  Not sure what his problem was.  But he came to say that Bat apparently left.  Without saying goodbye.  Again.

Her tone was neutral, but internally, she knew that was it for her and her sister. They were done.  She'd never tried to or cared to even talk to Kiwi after that first run in, and in Kiwi's eyes she treated their mom like shit despite her still (pointlessly) forgiving her every time. Last straw, last care.  Like Artaax, just another family member who she'd outgrown.

She's staying with another pack, apparently.  She watched to gauge her mom's reaction for the news.  A part of her hoped she would finally be mad, but it was a small and somewhat futile hope.

If she were older and wiser, she might have realized how deeply it hurt to know her sister had written her off so easily, just as deeply as it had when her big brother had attacked her in cold blood.  But walls were easier - if she built them, then she didn't have to feel whatever was on the other side.
