Once everyone had gathered, Aspspur wheeled around, eyes flashing as he stared, hard, at each of the newcomers. "I must warn you," he said, voice low. "This is the point of no return. Once you are past this point, you will be ours. Your missions," he glanced at Nightwhisper, "Your life," his gaze slipped to the chick nearly hidden under the thick ground cover. "Will be closely monitored. This is the point of no return. If you have objections," there was a hint of graveness in Aspspur's voice. "Speak now."
the chick knew this well, she waits to see what the other would do
