When Kukutux assured her that she needn't personally subscribe to any beliefs she didn't, well, believe, Towhee knew the moment had come. She was going to throw her lot in with a group of strangers, for better or worse. She had no idea what to expect of the coming days, though she knew one thing: it would be an adventure.

There was one last thing, she supposed. When Kukutux mentioned listening for the lead hunter's voice, Towhee said, "Understood, though you should know that I'm deaf, actually." There was more she wanted to say, though she pressed her lips together, giving the woman a chance to process that. For all she knew, it could be a deal-breaker.

She hoped it wasn't, though. Living with Moonglow would mean she could be somewhat near Meerkat again, without actually butting into her life. Towhee didn't know when the pack intended to move on or where they were headed after this. That was also part of the adventure, she supposed, one she could appreciate more now that she'd developed an unforeseen affinity for travel.
