The girl listens, not entirely pleased about what it is she is hearing.

Recruit. Family. Home.

What are these things that she should care about them?

Irrationality descends upon her, and she is glad that she is in her raven form, where the hot blush of her youthful ignorance cannot be seen. Isopia perches in a tree, unassuming and silent. She is larger than other ravens, and her death-marked face, even in this form, reveals her identity. Still, she hopes that eyes will not linger upon her, and will instead focus on the words of the two giants who are addressing the new herd.

She likes both Archibald and Kaj, but she hates the words that spill from their lips. This new life of alliances, of recruitment, of starting over is foreign to her, and her mind rallies against it. She doesn't care about diplomacy, doesn't care about the needs of the herd or strategy. She just wants to be left alone. Somehow she has incurred the burden of responsibility - she has been summoned, just like the rest of them, and deep down she knows that she ought to obey.

That was the worst part, really. That they didn't even have to summon - all they needed to do was appear, together, or at least with some demonstrable purpose, and the herd was expected to just show up. She was expected to just show up. A long time ago Aly had told her friendships could be asymmetrical, but whatever was going on here was clearly meant to be reciprocated.

The girl was learning about the burden and responsibility that those who wielded power had.

And she hated it.
