Towhee was not as big as she remembered - or maybe Mintaka was just larger now. That was how that worked, wasn't it? Mintaka smiled at the other woman as she approached, tail swishing back and forth. All of this was so exciting.

Mintaka held still, remaining quiet as the older women spoke. This seemed like maybe it was more serious than she had anticipated it being, and she didn't want to interrupt.
