Redhawk Caldera Squid Game drill.

The reactions ranged from resignation to angry outburst, but they were all within the bounds of what Ruenna had expected. She shot Towhee a pained look when Blueberry cried out and stomped off. The "everybody always fucking leaves" part was poignant in particular, given the child's sad history. After the meeting, they would try to find Blueberry and explain that no one was leaving her; that she could leave together with someone of her choosing.

Oddly, the range of reactions all represented emotions that Ruenna felt in her own heart. Part of her was resigned, but there was another part of her that wanted to get upset and shout. Fight. Yet another part saw it as an opportunity, for change and exploration as Sphyra mentioned, and for family planning, as the exchange of looks between Bronco and Fennec seemed to suggest. Her conversation with Germanicus at Akashingo was never far from her mind. 

"Towhee and I will be here. We will stay until we're sure everyone has a place to go, or at least a plan." There seemed little left to say or do. It had been a short meeting, and yet Ruenna felt very weary. Her sad, honey eyes would find the faces of her former packmates as the meeting space filled with the stirs and murmurs of a dismissed and departing group. She would then join Towhee in the Hobbit Hole, to help her pack the place up and so that they could say their own goodbyes to one another.
