OOC: Sorry she's bitchy. 
Bye guys!
The golden Epsilon heard the goodbye song and stopped immediately. She’d been out to visit the pup Saki, since Augustus wouldn’t let them keep her in their den, but now she licked at the pup’s face and reassured her that she’d return quickly. Then she picked herself up and trotted to the place the howl had come from. First she came across Tharin, and rubbed flanks with him in a gesture that hoped to comfort. She dipped her head and tail lower than his, seeing as he was her Beta now, and stood with him to watch the departure.
She, too, was too hurt to go down. The wolf hadn’t gotten to know Palaydrin much, except for the one time they’d had that odd tea together, and she got the feeling the blonde wolf didn’t understand her relationship with Augustus. Still, she held no bitterness for the woman…until now. Not knowing Drin’s reasons, Ciara could only feel anger at the pair for leaving at a time when the pack needed them most. Her earthen eyes stared at them in disbelief, first Drin, who had done so much…then Jiva, the cousin of the very Alphess they were mourning the absence of.
She scoffed lightly, leaning into Tharin and lifting her maw to give a short, dismissive bark at the pair. If they were going to cop out now, then she’d have no sadness over their departure.
Good riddance.
