Theory said a little bit of both, and seemed unsure as she asked if it was okay. Sparrow feigned a long sigh and an eye roll so intense her head went with it.
"I GUESS... If we GOTTA..."
Sparrow smirked, dropping her sarcasm. She nodded towards the black beach side, "Walk and talk," she suggested, turning to lead the way. Her cousin asked her about the lands and Sparrow shrugged, "It's warm, open, and has a pirate ship. We might move if we get bored, though." She liked these lands and all, but she wasn't married to the idea of any of them yet.
Theory spoke what was on her mind. There had been a lot of death, Sparrow assumed, but that didn't make it any easier on those affected. "Yeah, we lost one too," she said sympathetically. There were times when she hadn't been sure she was going to make it either.
Sparrow had no connection to Rhyme, nor wanted to, but she could empathize with Theory on his passing. She thought she ought to catch up and see how her own family was doing and check to see who, if anyone, had keeled over yet.
Theory told Sparrow of her new idea for a pack and Sparrow smiled heartily. "Sound like you got it all figured out," she said, meaning it genuinely. "The pirates would love to train. When you get all set up, we oughta hold a raid on your new lands to test them out. If we lose, I can teach some classes for you for a season, and if you lose, you gotta train my pirates for a season." It was an agreement they probably both would have agreed to anyway, but adding it to the bet of a raid just sounded so much more fun. "No maims, of course. We wouldn't main our allies- if you want to call us that."
At the last bit, Theory asked Sparrow how she fared after the darkness. The large woman shrugged, "I try not to think about it," she said somewhat dryly. The Ooze wasn't like a breakup you could just party away. People lost a lot during it, and Sparrow preferred to move on from it as fast as possible. "The nightmares haven't let me yet, though," she admitted. "Trying not to turn to the bottle for it, but hey, maybe they'll die down by the time the fur on my back grows back." Sparrow leaned a little to show Theory her peach fuzzed shoulders and back from where the growths had damaged her skin, scars marring between the newly growing fur.
"Besides your father, how did you get through?"

Sparrow has a female Harlequin Macaw named Pongolo and a male Capuchin monkey named Friar, and a hairless mushroom tuxedo cat named Beef Sandwich. She also has cat claws... and some weird leg spike things.
