Redhawk Caldera Swinging from the fire escape

Phox was only vaguely aware of what was happening right now. He had heard the adults use some words he had heard before (outside, go, move) and several he hadn't (rendezvous, freedom, spring). When Elwood woke him up, Phox was as alert as ever, blinking his puppy-blue eyes at Elwood before looking to Towhee. She was almost always the first one he sought when he woke, and the last thing he saw before he fell asleep. "'Ow-ee," he said, nudging her. "Go," he said simply, sweeping his muzzle to the cave's entrance where Elwood was now waiting for them.

The others would surely follow, but Phox was the first to be out the door, blinking once before taking a big, satisfying yawn. "Where go?" he asked of Elwood, tilting his head to one side.
