Sun Mote Copse caught in a river of rockers and dreams

Towhee's gonna bow out so the bros can reunite.

She didn't say anything else as they made the journey to the little cemetery plot just a stone's throw from the river. Long before they reached it, she saw a familiar gray figure crouched beside the graves. Seeing Eljay there did not surprise Towhee in the least. Her eyes cut sideways to see if Cinder had noticed him yet, even as she slowly closed the distance.

"Cinder's come home," the Sovereign said simply to Eljay. "I'll leave you two to..." She gestured vaguely between them and the sweet souls resting in the earth beneath their paws. "Come find me sometime later, after you've had a chance to settle in, so we can catch up some more," Towhee added to Cinder before retreating back into the copse's center.
