Alek chuckled when Rooke muttered to himself about the password being in an obvious spot. Truly, it was pretty obvious and how they didn't find it sooner was silly of them. She leaned and watched as Ty left to get something and Rooke's face change as he looked at the map and how large the world was. Sometimes she forgets that the world actually is large when all she's known is to run yet never run far enough. No matter where they went, it always seemed like the school was right behind them. Maybe the world wasn't as large as the maps made it appear to be.

As Ty walked back in, Alek's amber eyes shot up to him and watched as he gave the younger boy a carved rock. She strained a little to see what it was and gave a soft smile at the bear totem. It was well carved. She had a feeling someone perhaps more important to Ty than the flock had made it. They were all someone else once, thus she tried not to take the flock being placed second to heart. When Ty asked if Rooke could leave the room for a moment, Alek's left eyebrow quirked in questioning. Once the sparrow ran off after hugging the older boy she asked, "What's up, Ty?" She pushed off the door jam to stand in front of him, fingers hooked in her front pockets and head slightly cocked to the side.
