Redhawk Caldera Swinging from the fire escape

There was so much going on around her that it was difficult to concentrate, though Towhee got the gist of what was happening: they were all going on an adventure! Of course, she didn't understand the permanence but that was due to her age versus her handicap. She exchanged an excited look with Phox, playfully punching his shoulder before spinning to grin at the others gathering around them.

-Hi!- she signed at Raven, Eljay and Lagan. Towhee paused thoughtfully, her head tilted. One eye squinted as her teeth pressed gently into her tongue. After a beat, she slowly made another sign—several, actually. Her movements were a bit hesitant and clumsy as she wasn't entirely sure of the words yet. But the message was more or less, -We're going on an adventure!- Although she might have used the sign for "running" instead of "going."

Oblivious to her mistake—and trusting the adults would simply get it, as they often did—Towhee spun and excitedly bounded forward, eager to get this party started. But she dug her heels into the cool earth and froze when she spotted a silhouette in the distance. It was unmistakably the shape of a wolf. The pup's eyes were incredibly sharp and she knew in an instant that she'd never seen @West before. The smudged fur along her shoulders and spine stood on end as her tail lashed up over her hips and her ears flattened to her skull. Her lips wrinkled back from her teeth as an explosive growl burst from her chest.
