Dragoncrest Cliffs Crash burn

Up to two others! Pinging @Alyx, but all welcome.

He had searched up and down the coast to no avail, although there was one scent he’d picked up on that had pulled him close: Alyx. He stood at the border now, not crossing. Phox knew he should go back to the caldera for Towhee, and he would, but Alyx would want to know, wouldn’t she? Maybe she could keep an eye out for Niamh. Maybe Niamh would trust her enough to come looking for her. It was odd enough that Niamh had abandoned him and Towhee, but surely she wouldn’t abandon her daughter, too. And Bronco? Did she plan to never see him again?

Phox tilted his chin upward and howled against the wind. The pine trees were thick and tall, but he could still smell the ocean from here. Perhaps Niamh had settled here after all upon finding Alyx here and had simply kept herself away from the borders.
