Lark was the first to show. Before Sparrow could explain what happened, Lillianna, pulled together probably strictly out of spite, showed and called for the whole pack. Sparrow shot her a narrow glance that clearly said, "not now." The call was already out, so Sparrow turned back to Lark, "We found her." She said. The words were simple. Starling wasn't far behind and he muttered in Italian that Finch was poisoned. Sparrow corrected, "I'm not so sure she was poisoned, but there's the possibility..." Starling leaned into Lillianna and Sparrow made a point to ignore her entirely, making eye contact only with Starling when she looked that direction. Lillie might have wanted to make a big show out of Finch, but Sparrow wasn't going to have it. For this event, Sparrow decided Lillianna didn't exist. She didn't exist and couldn't make this about her. This was about Finch and Finch only.

Kakashi came next carrying Finch, followed quickly by Harmony. Harmony asked what had been done and Sparrow swallowed, "Bardock root and agrimony... and... skullcap was administered orally by Starling."  Finally, Harmony said she would be okay. She would live. Finch would live! Sparrow breathed for what felt like the first time all day.

Karabela came in followed by Bass. They both asked what happened, Karabela suggesting they were being attacked, "What? No= no we're not being attacked." Oh, that's right, Lillianna had called after her for the whole pack. No wonder why everyone was freaking out. Well, she was freaking out too, but for a different reason, "Finch is sick. Harmony says it's an overdose of Foxglove. Starling suggested it might be a poisoning, but I don't know if we'll know for sure until Finch wakes up." Sparrow gazed evenly, giving a recap to everyone gathered, "Which she should do soonish? Harmony says she'll be okay. Starling treated her there and Harmony is treating her now. Karabela can go on patrol if she wants, but for now, we should move Finch close to Harmony's den for monitoring. I think it might be best if the healers tended to her in peace for now until she is more stable. Maybe just Harmony and Dad? Everyone hurried here and they probably need to rest." Sparrow looked at her father, nodding at him, hoping her evaluation of the situation went over well in his head.

Everyone was in pairs. Lillianna and Starling, Lark and Bass, Quake and Kakashi, and Harmony and Finch. Sparrow stood somewhere in the middle, supporting her own. She set her teeth, clamping them down hard enough to give her a headache. She stood tall, despite her shaky feelings. She would support her own and stay strong for Finch.
