Meadowlark Prairie the lady of the house

Set a few hours after Fennec's return.

Once Fennec was on her way Reyes wasn't sure what to do with himself. There was a chance that if he waited nearby he might see Towhee, but he did not want to be a creeper on the fringes; he wasn't sure how safe it was for him to be this close, even though he was in a nameless field and could see flat grassland in every direction. 

If anyone did approach him he'd see them coming — but he wondered if it would be worth it, or even safe, for him to linger long. If Phox came tearing after him again then he'd have an answer. Reyes wanted to cast back his head and call for @Towhee but he knew she would not hear him, and that left him to keep pace with his own uncertainty for the next few hours. 

The sky transitioned from clear and warm to breezy and cloud-thick. The soft sound of the wind tousling the grass reminded Reyes of the familiar tidal sounds of home, but he was still anxious, wearing a path in to the grass where he paced and observed his surroundings.
