SOFI needs a ladder. - Towhee - November 01, 2024
Mother and son spent the night in the southernmost corner of the weald, waking to a cold, clear morning. Bushtit seemed fascinated by the frost sparkling in the morning sunlight. Towhee didn’t hurry him, letting the little guy explore while she rationed out the rest of the rabbit they’d supped on the night before.
Hey, you,Towhee called when breakfast was ready.
Yeah, you, with the face!she jested when Bushtit’s little head whipped toward her.
You hungry?
He gamboled over to her and sniffed at the offerings, then began to eat. Towhee imbibed too, watching the pup curiously. He was two months old now and just hitting that particularly gangly stage. Her question had been rhetorical; he was always hungry and ate whatever she offered him. He was fairly fluent in Ptero now, though she noticed he was a man of few words. He didn’t often bother speaking aloud at all.
Okay, remember, it’s your pick today. Do you wanna hit Moontide, Moonglow or Moonspear first?Towhee asked, pointing in the direction of each territory as she spoke their names.
We’ll visit all three eventually, plus others when you get a little older. You just need to pick a starting point.
Bushtit chewed his latest bite and motioned, -Moonspear!-
Moonspear it is. We’ll head that way as soon as you’re done.
It was nearing noon by the time they arrived at the far side of Silverlight Terrace. Towhee glanced toward the glen, wondering if the hunters were still gathered there or if everybody had headed home by now. She sniffed the air but it was too cold and still to tell her much, so she shifted her attention to the looming mount.
Do you remember Killdeer? He lives here. He has a couple of kids. They’re older than you but I bet they’d like to play with you.
In fact, they were spotted by Treepie, who rushed down the mountain to greet them. She seemed absolutely enamored with Bushtit. She kept referring to him as a “cute, sweet baby,” which made Towhee chuckle. Pie ushered the two across the borders, insisting the three of them head up toward the rendezvous site.
Pie was so good with her little—well, whatever he was to her—so Towhee left Bushtit in her care and sidled to the other side of the rendezvous site, hoping to spot @Killdeer, @Sialuk or another grownup. Especially since Bushtit wasn’t particularly conversational, she was dying for a proper conversation.

Sialuk arrived at the rendezvous site to find not only Treepie, but Towhee as well, and—much to her surprise—a child of Towhee's. The high sage did not recall Towhee mentioning anything of a pregnancy during their last visit to the copse, but perhaps it had simply not been something she wished to share. Speaking of Towhee, she looked as though she could use a bit of company, so Sialuk settled down beside her.
How is the copse?she asked, curious to know how things were going there. It was, after all, one of Moonspear's sister villages.
RE: SOFI needs a ladder. - Towhee - November 02, 2024
It was good to see Sialuk’s face, though she looked paler than usual. Towhee studied her for a moment before cutting her eyes away. She watched their children signing back and forth a moment, her lips twitching into a smile at the sight. Then she refocused on the pale she-wolf to catch the words she spoke.
Well…Towhee replied, trying to bite back a sigh but not quite succeeding.
Meerkat and Njord left with Skipjack. Then Seal and Otter took off more recently. I don’t know if you know Reyson and Meadow well if at all, but it’s essentially theirs now.
Now her lips pulled into a moue. She felt guilty for bringing them to the copse, only for its ranks to implode. Towhee hoped they would still enjoy the peace and quiet of the homestead on the far side the mountain, though it had always been a little too calm for her tastes. She grimaced at herself, recognizing the absurdity of that thought.
Anyway, Bushtit seemed to thrive at the big gathering, so I thought I’d take him on a field trip this way again. I think Treepie might want to steal him from me,she observed with a dry laugh.
How are things with you guys?
RE: SOFI needs a ladder. - Killdeer - November 03, 2024
cameo unless mentioned directly!
He heard Treepie's cooing over the boy before he spotted the visitors, and was thus pleasantly surprised to poke his head out from an outcropping to see Towhee, his daughter, and Bushtit below. Sialuk had joined them, as well, and he chuffed on approach as he carefully navigated the terrain to make it a quintet.
Killer gave Sialuk a respectful nod and a nuzzle to his grandmother's chin. A grin spread across his face to see the adorable interaction between his newest little uncle-cousin and Treepie.
-Your ptero's looking good, Pie,-he remarked, eyes warm upon the pair.
-Told'ya it would come in handy.-
The women were talking packs—well, specifically the Copse. His brows quirked upward at the revelation that Towhee had left it behind. Made sense, though he felt for Reyson (who he knew had endured so much disappointment and tragedy already) and his mate.
Did that mean his Gramma had come to stay? That very question lingered in his gaze, though he did not speak. . .yet.
