Sun Mote Copse The scene is dead.

He said he was fine and Towhee wondered whether she should press him or just leave it there, when Fig shared quite frankly that he missed Fennec. The Regent appreciated this candidness and replied in kind, "Yeah, me too." She was about to say more ("I miss her a lot and she would probably wanna smack the shit outta me for saying so but I worry about her...") but Fig cut in with a pertinent question before she could.

Towhee's lips pursed. "Well, I think of him as my kid brother." And that was kind of weird, if he and Fen were involved romantically, but considering she referred to her own brother as her baby daddy, Towhee didn't really care about that part. She snorted as she thought aloud, "He's feisty and he has a mouth on him, kinda like his mom." She paused to let the little hitch in her breath pass. "I still owe him my deadliest move," she murmured, then began to laugh when she remembered his cry of, "Ugh, I'm a child, damn you!" Towhee would never forget that (and never not laugh about it).

She reminisced for a beat longer before focusing her gaze and swinging it back to Fig to ask, "What do you think of Penn Blackthorn?"
