Golden Glade Shadowless.

Confusion flashed briefly over Raven's face at her sister's mention of "in exchange for Rye", until Towhee went on to explain further that she had asked him to come join her at the grove. Her face became something more neutral, then, as she considered the implications of what Towhee was telling her. The Frosthawks would be losing a member, which was never a good thing -- particularly with a new litter of pups arriving any day now and the pack needing every member on deck to help ensure their newest generation was kept safe and fed. Raven wasn't thrilled to lose Rye at all, but...they would be okay. The pack was stronger than it had been in a long time, and hunting this year had been plentiful. Even with both of the pack's leading females tied up with diaper duty, Qui still had more than enough help running things. In considering all of these things, Raven realized she was okay with the situation. At least Towhee had had the decency to come tell her, instead of Rye just up and leaving.

As her sister finished her amusingly awkward explanation, Raven's expression shifted to something more like this and she couldn't suppress a giggle as she commented, -"Remember that time ages ago, back when you were alpha, when I had to come to you and explain that I'd totally boned Quixote? The tables have turned, dear sister!"- She leaned forward and playfully nudged her sister with a forepaw, laughing now. Relaxing back on her vast ass again, she continued a bit more seriously, -"I don't think it's unusual for people to develop feelings after they've 'done the thing'...I mean, I fell pretty hard for Qui after, too. If he wants to go, I'm okay with it. But I don't want anyone to come here against their will in exchange. Whip is always welcome, no matter what, but only if he wants to come."-
