Redsand Canyon Rooftop conversations

Turmeric might have gotten to the rock first, but when he turned around to gloat in his brother's face, he realized Thyme hadn't ever been far behind. In fact, the agouti boy turned right into the line of Thyme's hollering HELLLO?! and Turmeric had to flatten his ears to keep himself from going deaf.

"Whoa! Watch it!" he said, and laughed. Even through his flattened ears, he heard the resounding greeting of the stone around them. "Whoa," he breathed again, as Thyme danced circles around the sand. Maybe there really were wolves in the canyon walls.

Turmeric's heart quickened and his tail beat as fast as the smile that came across his face. "Let's ask them where dad is! Let's ask them where dad is!" the question was a no-brainer to him, and before Thyme could agree, protest, or offer up some other question for these wolves to answer instead (and anyway, he was sure Thyme would agree!), the agouti boy shouted with the biggest voice he could find: "where did dad go?" and perked his ears to listen.
