Redhawk Caldera I wanna take you into the sunlight.

Towhee actually shook a little when Rue agreed to step up and help her. So many people had let her down lately: Reyes, Niamh, Eljay... but she could count on Rue, as well as her brother. It was still a lot, though the Sovereign felt such immeasurable relief knowing the Tradesman was committed to helping.

"Rue, thank you," Towhee said sincerely before addressing her comment about dens. "I've been hanging out by the creek a lot lately. I'm sure we can find something around there. I think we should start near the southern stretch of the woods, then work our way further south, see what we can find."

She wondered if they would come across the Blackthorn den. Had Eljay bothered to fix it up before bailing? Towhee grimaced at the thought. Regardless, she refused to use it. It would just remind her of the caretaker's abandonment. She was tempted to destroy it, though she would never dishonor her godparents' memory that way.

Pushing herself upright, the Sovereign prepared to get on the move again. "I think this goes without saying but, like, no homo. I'd still love to find you a great guy so you can have the family you want." She smiled tiredly as she righted herself, taking the first plodding step.
