Hydra nodded toward the girl. It was neither here nor there to Hydra whether or not Towhee was allowed out or not, the fact was she was here and her guardian was not howling frantically for her... and so Hydra could only assume it was fine. Even if it was not fine, Hydra was not the boss of the girl and had little desire to be. It was none of her business, as far as she was concerned. 

It took Hydra a minute to translate just what Towhee was asking of her, but when she did Hydra slid into a playbow to enable the other to know her maneuvers would not be to hurt the other. Hydra would spar with her. Without wasting another moment, Hydra sprang toward Towhee with no intent to land any blows but to (attempt to) nip at a rear leg of the Redhawk youth to instigate movement.
