Sun Mote Copse Grown out of myth.

She wasn't particularly surprised when @Sundance came to find her and tell her he was leaving to search for Dorea and the remnants of Elysium. Towhee didn't argue with him or try to convince him to stay. Immediately resigned, she gave him some tips for the road, thanked him for telling her before leaving and wished him well. At the last second, as she was clutching him to her chest one last time, a thought hit her and she asked him if he would mind stopping by the Firebirds on his way out and leaving a message with Raven et al, letting them know about Sugar.

After he'd gone, Towhee drew in a deep breath and walked to the borders. She intended to patrol, particularly now that she was Regent, but instead she found herself plopping onto her hindquarters and doing something she rarely did. She closed her eyes, turned her head skyward and howled. It was dissonant and haunting, a wordless, lamenting dirge. She hoped that venting some of her grief would help and, selfishly, she wondered if @Phox might hear the song, wherever he was, and come back. She needed him.
