Heron Lake Plateau fake happy

Screech's status was now known by herself and the rest of the pack. Probably like most of them, she harbored a lot of misgivings. In fact, Towhee was having those about most things in her life at present. She should have been enjoying their new stomping grounds, the beauty of this paradisaical area and the notion of a fresh start, but the Alpha took no pleasure in anything unfolding around her right now.

She, too, headed to find the Betas. On her way there, she came up behind Clover, who appeared to be going in the same direction. Towhee slowed and paused. She should probably have a conversation with Clover and her sister too, though maybe that was best left to Elwood and Finley at this point. With a sour stomach, Towhee picked up the pace again, calling out to get her little sister's attention.

"Are you going to see your mom and dad? Me too," she said simply in way of greeting.
