Redhawk Caldera Just as I took the world on my shoulders

Unable to see the relief on Towhee's face, Fennec twisted things one more time as she quietly gathered up Killdeer and took him back home, ignoring any arguments he might have posed with oddly resolute calm. Instead of approval, she took the lack of response to be silent judgement and the exact opposite. Sort of a 'wait and see' kind of feeling.

It made her all the more certain that this was the right move to make. It was a stupid title anyway, and it wasn't like she and Ruenna got along. She was better off focusing on her son and on her actual interests. It had been far too long since she'd visited her gardens in the Bramblepoint. She could take him along with her.

Neither of them needed anything else. She'd make sure of it.
