Tuktu Hinterlands Resonance

It went without saying that Towhee didn't hear the chorus rising in the east, powerful as the winter sun. She was sequestered on The Roost, currently, doing her best to avoid everyone as she worked on sorting out her feelings. It was probably for the best that she was oblivious.

Another joined the first, then another and another. The hawk couldn't help but abandon the carcass and take wing, uplifted by the swelling song. He spotted a red figure down below and circled casually overhead, lending his own shrill cry to the ballad.
