Fishing for Finches

It seemed she wasn't the only one with questions. Sparrow didn't miss Finch's maw snapping shut, but she dismissed it. She answered that ti was hard to walk around too much and Sparrow hummed, "If you feel strong enough, you can lean on me. Maybe some fresh water would be good, she suggested, "But if not today, soon then?" Sparrow offered a glance at her sister, trying to gauge her strength. Finch offered Sparrow a kiss and Sparrow would nuzzle into her sister. Finally, she would ask her question, asking how the pack was messy. Sparrow thought for a moment, her brow furrowing, "It's not because of you, but it's because of what happened to you. Everyone is um... unsettled... Everyone wants to go and find who did this, but also... We have no leads. I think everyone is restless because of that; we're helpless."
Sparrow listened to Finch talk about learning to fight. She was a little surprised, "Really? Lark would be the one to ask, I guess. I have a friend from Imperium actually... We met when I visited Rhythm, then again after the war. He fought in it and it was so strange to me. He enjoys fighting, you know. It's crazy to me, but... I told him how I felt so helpless when everyone here seems to be a healer and I'm just second-rate compared to them. He suggested instead of always trying to be ready to try to fix my family with medicine, that maybe I could learn to fight for them. I told dad at the meeting- but... that's when we learned you were missing, so..." Sparrow trailed off. If everyone was suddenly becoming a fighter, would that rule her out again? No, not a lot of fighters were prominent in Abaven, "I think it will be cool to learn together. It will be like when we were pups."
The silence fell again. It was thick with Sparrow's question. Finally, Finch asked her what it was, slipping into their family language to ask. Sparrow let out a long sigh, "I know you've been asked a million times, and I don't want to trouble you, but..." Sparrow hesitated for a moment, "Odio ammetterlo, ma voglio anche vendetta. Voglio sapere tutto quello che ti ricordi come se fossi stato anche lì. Questo è quello che volevo chiedere. Anche la mia mente diventa violenta al pensiero di quello che si fa male, quindi voglio sapere tutto quello che sai. Perché eri così lontano da casa? Era qualcuno con te? Tutto ciò sarà di aiuto." Sparrow said slowly, her thoughts churning in her head before she spoke, "Even if it just helps me to know I have all the facts, even if it's not much." Sparrow chewed the inside of her cheek, trying not to look too much at Finch as she asked so much of her sister.
