How long had it been since he’d seen @Tvar and @Towhee Jr? Had it been more than a month? Did that mean their puppies were here? The thought pushed him east, then north, as he approached the valley where they lived. He didn’t know if he wanted to meet newborn pups—if they’d even let him—but he had a strong inkling that their mom would want to know the latest news.
He came up to the edge of the territory, where his sister’s and brother-in-law’s markings were quite distinct. Bushtit paused to sniff the air, trying to suss out any clues, but he quickly gave up on that and howled. Jr wouldn’t hear him, naturally, and they might be busy with their litter. He licked his nose and kept an eye out for anyone who might respond in their stead.

zephyra was on high alert with the first of the pipsqueaks having been born. she kept mostly to the borders, offering to take over shifts for tvar should she ever bump into him.
the spike happened to be doing her rounds when the howl went up, and so she adjusted her course to answer the summons. it was a surprise to find the figure knocking at the metaphorical door to be a familiar face, though it did little to sway her stoic demeanor.
"well hey there titty," she greeted as she neared the other youth, pace slowing as she glanced over his figure. "what brings you here?" she questioned while stopping off a short distance away.

She wasn’t family but she was familiar. Bushtit’s head reared back slightly when he saw Zephyra coming his way, his mouth falling ajar for a split second before he clapped it shut. His dark eyes dropped to the patch of ground at his feet, though he glanced up at her through his long eyelashes.
He grimaced a little at her greeting, not because he minded the name but because it felt like a barb coming from her. Bushtit drew in a breath, schooling his expression so that when he lifted his pale face a little, his lips were pulled into a tight smile.

Heyyy, Zephyra,he offered before answering her question,
I’m here for news of my sister’s puppies. Do you know if Jr’s given birth yet?
