Heron Lake Plateau Letting all the shadows free.

Tywyll had really meant to say hello to Towhee when she got back, he had heard about her being hurt and was really worried. He really did have the intention to check in just....he was scared of seeing his big sister hurt. His only experience with injury had been his own and he had almost died. What if Towhee was dying? So he hadn't checked in and he pushed her to the back of his mind.


Today he caught her scent and realised she was up and moving and began to follow it. It took forever because he wasn't used to tracking yet and every single scent distracted him. When he finally did arrive, it took him another good few minutes to process why her scent disappeared at the shoreline of the lake. Did she drown? After a moment of panicking he spotted the little island thing a swimming distance across just in time to see Towhee stand up and stretch. He paced back and forth and barked excitedly before jumping in. Big mistake. He had never swam before. For a few long moments he thrashed and began to sink, before he figured out how to kick his legs together to move forward. With obvious struggle he slowly made it toward land.


Heaving himself up he flopped over, gasping and wheezing before looking up at Towhee with a comical and cute expression of shock "That was scary! How do fish do it?" he said between gasps before his tail started wagging and he rolled into an upright position. "Towhee, is your leg any better?" he asked. He had missed her placing weight on it during his struggle not to drown.
