Heron Lake Plateau The Indie Queens are Waiting

Towhee pulled a face at Niamh's suggested sign, then smirked at the question. "Actually, it's very close to the sign for bathing," she shared, "but distinct enough that it could work. Was it like this?" She emulated the she-wolf's gestures slowly, wanting to make sure she'd caught the nuance of each gesture, simple and straightforward as they were. "I think it'll work. Some who're not quite as fluent might think you're just very clean," she said, huffing a laugh, "but, yeah, it should work."

Although she could talk about this stuff for hours and was happy to teach Niamh more about ptero, she was sincerely curious as she asked, "Are you settling in okay?" Was it presumptuous to ask that, seeing as Niamh had technically been here first? "With the pack, I mean," Towhee clarified. She imagined Screech's presence would be controversial but hopefully the Redhawks wouldn't have a hard time accepting his cohort. After all, if Towhee could welcome an outsider like this, then so could the rest of the family.
