Hideaway Strath Could have been my happy ever after

Ah, her brother must not have mentioned it to him, based on his reaction. That was curious, although no matter. Towhee bobbed her head in assent when Leen asked to learn. She'd be happy to teach him... normally. Her limbs felt uncooperative at the mere thought of signing right now. Her heart just wasn't in it.

"Yes," she said aloud, "later though." Towhee couldn't explain her reticence but why should she? He had opted out of telling more of his tale, so she wouldn't beat herself up about this.

Changing the subject, Towhee siad, "You said you're an ambassador too." She tried not to think about Tegan when she said the word "ambassador." "Did Phox mention that we could probably use your help recruiting? I think we'll be just fine if we stay small, at least during the summer, but some more able bodies would be good too."
