So the answer was a (tentative) yes. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew it would not be an easy transition. Towhee would make him work hard for it, but Phox was willing to put in the work to make her understand he was repentant. He wanted so much to forge a relationship with her, but he knew that it would be an incredibly long journey, and that was assuming he didn't take a wrong turn and end up at an entirely different destination.

He did not understand how she could take the name he was born with from him, but he did not question her. Doing so would surely make him look as though he were trying to tell her how to forgive him, so he held his tongue and swallowed hard. He believed that he could make amends, but it would take a lot of effort. He would earn his name back, and he would earn their trust back.

For not being a leader, Towhee sure was acting a lot like one. He wondered why she no longer held the role and what events had granted her such a high place among her peers in the first place.

-Thank you,- he signed, awaiting her signal for what to do next.
