Sun Mote Copse tie-dye koozie

Awful weather aside, she felt immense delight and relief when Phox formally accepted the position. -"Awesome,"- she said at the same time as Niamh's, -"Good."- This time, her smile did reach her eyes, though it was still short-lived. They would have to celebrate sometime later, after they figured out what to do about the (so far, minor) flooding.

-"Good thinking, Mr Regent,"- Towhee rejoined to Phox's remark. Turning to Niam, she said, -"Don't know. You'd think so, but..."- She paused, huffing a breath. -"I didn't know the swamp was on the rise too. Even if it isn't particularly dangerous, I'm worried about the copse getting washed away. I mean, not literally, but water could destroy our caches and dens. And if it doesn't drain soon, it could become a swamp itself."-

Towhee sighed and reached up a paw to knead at her temple as she contemplated. She closed her eyes too, just for a moment. When she opened them, she said, -"We should probably have a plan to go to higher ground, just in case it comes to that. Where's the closest, highest place we could go? The plateau? Think it's flooding up there?"- It was, after all, Heron Lake Plateau. Another sigh escaped her as she thought of X buried up there, missing the hawk particularly at a moment like this.
