Hideaway Strath One in the chamber, blood in the water, my love

Thanks for the tap!

There was movement in the thrawn pass, causing Towhee to go very still very suddenly. Her ears twisted backward at the sight of Wraen with what appeared to be a coyote. She squinted, feeling a telltale rumbling in her throat, but as they came a little closer, she could see they were engaged in conversation. And the stranger behaved like kindred; perhaps he was a mix. Towhee didn't really care, though she kept her eyes trained on the pair, slightly mistrustful and prepared to run interference if Wraen needed her.

It occurred to her that she should probably make her presence known. Unlocking her limbs, Towhee called, "Hey!" and said nothing else, for the moment. She would wait until they cleared the hideaway's crushed throat.
