Sun Mote Copse words of wisdom

Unsuspectingly, Eljay turned his head when Towhee greeted him. She glanced around the cemetery and he followed her gaze. The slightly disheveled dirt didn't bother him too much; everything here had been flooded, so he guessed that it was just from that. Hey, he greeted back to her. Though his and Towhee's bond had changed a lot over the last year, Eljay couldn't help but feel a little.. well.. judged, whenever she was around. He'd always felt like he wasn't good enough for her standards because they were so different. He had felt that way up until the point where Towhee had had Meerkat and he'd been there to help her through the beginning of it all. In that period of time he had been so over-doting on the new parent and child and he had felt that Towhee appreciated his expertise. Of course, it'd all changed when his parents had died and that had sent him spiraling back into not only grief, but insecurity. Now, he wasn't sure how he felt around Towhee. He didn't feel as insecure as he used to when he was younger, as he had come to realise his own value in part, at the least, but it wasn't that he was completely comfortable, either, always expecting to some degree for her bossy, un-understanding and disapproving side to return.

She's really becoming quite the — He halted suddenly as he realised that he had promised that he wouldn't tell anyone about Fennec becoming a caretaker. But after what'd happened with Niamh, surely Towhee might already know? And Fennec seemed to have grown into the role more and more herself, lately. He studied Towhee's face, hoping to figure out whether she knew what he was about to say.
