Heron Lake Plateau tip-toeing in the street like dally

It was very, very tempting to mess with him, though Towhee knew Tegan would likely take whatever bad information she'd given him and use it for evil, so the Beta eventually decided she would just stick with the facts. After peering at him for a beat (and taking a moment to smooth out the slight awkwardness she felt), Towhee decided to explain.

Using signs—it was somehow less weird this way, even though it directly involved some rude gestures—Towhee explained how babies were made. It was a pretty clinical explanation, save for the part where she kept using slang signs like "dick" and "front butt."

Once she finished, she fell still and eyeballed him, curious how Tegan might react. Would he even believe her? Procreation sounded so ridiculous when laid out like that, so Towhee half-expected the younger wolf to call bullshit.
