She made a good point, when she mentioned the fact that her homesickness might have made visiting the copse more difficult. It seemed that she still missed the place- but was willing to try and get through her homesickness, rather than giving in to it and frequenting their previous homelands in an effort to make that feeling subside. So he nodded. "I think they'll be excited to hear about it," Though he only realized after he'd spoken, that his choice of pronoun had potentially leaked a bit of his secret out- that Towhee might not be the only one coming. He held his breath for a moment, wondering if Meerkat had caught his slip.
She mentioned their den- which had been a rare find indeed. It had been such a fun day, trying out different places, and finding the verdant ravine in which they'd chosen to live, in a dark and mossy cave glittering with mica. He realized, then, that if they did move, that he would probably, eventually lose the mica dust in his fur, and that he might not be able to make jokes about sparkling anymore. He could always go back to visit- and roll in the mica dust just for the sake of re-upping his sparkliness- but he knew he'd feel a bit silly if anyone ever found out that he was willing to make regular trips up a mountain just for the sake of making himself look sparkly again.
Then again, he didn't mind it so much. He liked the fact that he shimmered. So why would he feel strange about intentionally making himself look so good?
"We can definitely visit and have sleepovers." He said- and added "If we go, that is," Just so that she didn't feel like he was committed to moving. They'd agreed to sleep on it; but it was still fun to talk about the hypothetical side of things. "And yeah- I mean, the elevation was good for training and such but like...I dunno. After havin' been on a mountain during a month of rain...I imagine being there for several months of snow might be even more tough," He said. "I like to keep a little bit of my softness- all the better for cuddling with," He said, unceremoniously grabbing a hold of his sister with his forelegs and pulling her close so that he could squish her against his chest.
