rules of acquisition 40, 74, 101

Sparrow was already looking forward to the mission with Jupiter. It made her feel like a real adult that she was getting a mission and that her uncle trusted her with something so important. She hoped Jup felt somewhat similarly at least. She was confident the two of them would do a great job and if any thing went south, then they'd at least have each other. Besides that, they had the rest of Fireside, so Sparrow wasn't nervous at all. Probably. Kind of, anyway. She really, REALLY wanted to do a good job, but she also didn't want her family to know how much she wanted to do a good job. She wanted to exude confidence and rightfully so. She wanted to have that place in the pack, and she was eager to earn it.

When Tyr called for the pack, Sparrow was a little shocked. Had there been a change of plans? Was her mission cancelled? Had he changed his mind? No, of course not. He had faith in her- as he should. She was awesome, she told herself. This meeting was totally unrelated, no sweat. Sparrow came to the meeting and settled down next to Alarr, boasting a bright smile at Tyr. Totally confident.
