She was startled by how concerned Towhee became, suddenly, though she ought to have figured she'd draw concern. Towhee was her Person, after all, and she hadn't exactly answered any difficult questions about her feelings- or lack thereof- for quite some time. She'd been coasting by on auto-pilot, it seemed, and had been putting on whatever fce she'd needed to put on in order to get things done. But she hadn't been putting any extra effort into anything; while she had been capable about her patrolling, hunting and parenting, she hadn't been exceptional.

The kids're fine, an' they're gonna grow up to be fine. I think things are fine with Phox, but it's- She said, and she inhaled. -It's like every day is the exact same. And when it's not, it's- she said, and gestured to the bumps on Towhee's flesh, with a frown. -Doesn't it...Feel that way to you?- She asked. Life had been different when they'd been younger...They'd had more fun, more adventure. Perhaps she just hadn't been ready for adult life to hit her so hard.
