There had been a lot going on recently and of all the members of the pack that he'd hoped to run into there were two that he hadn't yet had time to meet with.  With changes and decisions being made he wanted very badly to speak to his Skoll about several matters.  So as soon as he had a free  moment he dialed Cypress's number to set up a good time and place for them to get together.  The conversation was brief, neither of them being particularly 'chatty' people over the phone, but the gist of it went something like this:

"Cypress, I need to see you about a few things.  Why don't I come meet you at your workshop after I get off Friday?"

Simple, to the point, and lacking in pleasentries.  They both seemed to deal with things in the same way.  Setting up the time and place he felt better knowing that they would talk in a more intimate way soon enough.  Next he placed a call to Lyric on her cell phone and waited for the girl, whose voice was so different from what he always expected, to answer her phone.

"Lyric....Jolene." Knowing what to call her still stumped him.  "Can you come and meet me at the house this weekend?  I want to talk to you about some things and I think it's better that we do it sooner than later."

He had finally come to a decision on the matter of Lyric, and had shared that decision with Silent.  Now he wanted to speak to the songbird one last time and determine if she was set on this course of action or if perhaps she had changed her mind.  Setting up the arrangement he let her go by saying he missed her, but again there was no goodbye.  The coming weeks leading up to the holidays would be busy for personal and professional reasons, but he was determined to have things in order before he and Silent made the changes they had proposed.
