At the call of her father, Finch's head rose, nearly toppling Civetta from her perch. The small bird let out a chip of surprise, flapping her tiny wings to keep herself from falling. Finch muttered an apology to her friend, waiting for her to settle herself before making her way to the meeting. There was a new air of confidence around Finch, she walked with her head held high and more of a swing in her hips. Her grey marked tail swirled behind her, ears perking forward as she walked into the meeting. She saw Tinaro and her younger sister first, and she was about to make her way over to Piper when she heard the sharp snarl coming from someone. Her head twisted around to Vali, seeing a woman that she was growling at. Her pale blue eyes settled on the form of the perpetrator, when her whole body froze. She knew that coat, knew the shape of that woman by heart. Her eyes grew wide, her ears pinning tightly back against her skull as she rose her left front paw. Tucking it towards her chest, the rest of her body lowered slightly. As she stared at her mother, so many emotions raged through her. She didn't know how to hold herself, or what to do. She looked to her father for guidance, but he was just as frozen as she was. She kept staring at Wren, trying to control her emotions, when a very rare one rose to the surface. Anger. It shocked Finch, but it didn't take long for it to fully take over. A small, almost unsure growl left her maw as she rose to her full height again. She didn't notice as Civetta moved herself in between the woman's shoulder blades. Her lips curled upwards, and she took a few steps towards her. Red hot tears poured down her face, another step taking towards her mother. "H-how could you," she whispered, stuttering for the first time in awhile. Her stutter had finally left her, but now there was such a flow of emotions in her that she couldn't help it. "You left when we needed you most. Did you know that I had been missing for awhile? That they think I might have been poisoned? And where were you for that, mother? Where were you?" Her voice was getting louder and louder now, raising more as she spoke. "I was sick for weeks and you couldn't even be bothered to show up! Whe-" "Finch! Enough!" At Bass' roar she fell silent, sinking back from Wren and looking towards her father. He was saying something to Vali now, and she could tell that he was hardly containing his emotions. Sniffling, she rubbed her face on her leg and twisted away, turning her back on her mother. She stalked away a few paces, freezing, and taking one last look at Wren. Her face fell, and she turned away once more. Civetta let out a soft thrill, rubbing her beak softly on the back of her head. "It's okay Finch, the rest of your family was here for you. That's all that matters." The woman sighed, nodding her head. Her friend was right, but it still sat in the back of her mind.
