Sparrow heard both of the calls, her mother's first, for Starling and Bass, then her father's call for anyone. It was time. She sat for a moment, saddened that her mother hadn't called to her. It hurt for some reason, even though Starling was the better healer. Sparrow tried to shake the feeling as she looked through her little collection of herbs. Some she had gathered in Abaven and others were from the trip she took with her parents. She grabbed the alfalfa and dandelion root she had harvested with the help of her brother. She looked around for anything else, but, after only a second, got too antsy and took off.

She was still late.

Everything was already happening. Sparrow kind of just edged in and placed the herbs next to Harmony and Starling and backed away. They were the experienced healers. She was nothing compared to them. She didn't want to hurt the pups, so she just... stayed back to let the real healers handle it. She wasn't a real healer.
