Birdsnow lifted her head, approaching the Floodstone with renewed strength. It was more of a ‘fake it till you make it’ than real health, but she was tired of sitting on her ass and waiting to recover. She was going to chase down recovery until she caught it, and she couldn’t do that wasting away in camp. Waiting for Kes to return. Watching her former deputy become someone she didn’t even recognize. Hearing of how her (former?) friends had taken their first meeting as leader and deputy and turned it into a brutal, gory execution was insanely unnerving, but at least they were doing… something. While it was something even past what she could imagine Dawnstar doing and brought her increasing fear for what her own fate would be if Fadingsun decided to do away with her, she got over it.

She hadn’t attended the Gathering, Fading had suggested she not attend and she was perfectly okay to comply, she stared up at her leader, a small, confused frown weaving onto her face at how… angry he looked. But that was a look, a feeling, she knew well. She just hoped leadership wasn’t as cruel to him as it was to her. Hoped the Clan would allow itself to be whipped back into shape, and she was happy to… help. Whatever she could. So for now, she did what she did best.

She kept an eye out for any kids who might need to be hurried away from the clearing, and ears open for any troublemakers. Not that Fadingsun couldn’t handle them on his own, but you know. Just in case.
