Towhee always managed to come out on the other side of the downs by going up, up, up! Phox felt that way this time around, despite the fact that he occasionally felt like he had let down the members of Asterism Grove, including Towhee. He listened to her story about Wraen, her own recovery, and how she had started a training program here with the Firebirds. It was all very Towhee, and he was glad to hear she hadn't changed. It made him smile, as if he hadn't been grinning ear-to-ear ever since she'd come crashing into him less than an hour ago.

The conversation turned to Raven, and Phox was happy to offer what he could. -I did! The way toward the Firebirds was blocked by that landslide, but Figment found that an area further south had actually been opened up by the earth shakes we were having. They're not too much further south than where we settled in the grove. Raven sends her love and best wishes to you. She misses you.- As eager as he was to return to Towhee, spending time with Raven had been good, too.
