Heron Lake Plateau Let's give this bad boy a test run.

Emotions had become a thing recently, more difficult emotions. He could hear the voices around him and specifically tuned into Towhee's, a voice he had come to recognize and pay attention to. Then came growling and shouting and loud cries that sounded angry and for all of Tywyll's bravery and enthusiasm he stood up, still wobbly and sort of clumsy and ran toward his father, pressing his body underneath the larger one and hiding.

Then came the realization that if he was scared, surely Cinder was too and he hesitantly peeked back out and wobbled back over to his brother, sitting beside him and uttering one single high pitched and shaky growl of warning. Whatever was going on here, his brother was to be left alone.
