Her point was heard and found to be fair, even if he had spend every waking hour with them it wouldn't be enough still. Rye knew that but it took someone else to tell him for that to sink in. His head nodded, eyes following Towhees. In confusion Rye titled his head, initially puzzling over what ideas she conjured up that involved a fragile leaf. His chest gently rolled with quiet laughter hearing her offer, he played along and jokingly held the leaf to his nose, blowing gently. The mans nose crackled and whistled but nothing came forth, he shrugged and tossed it away.

Returning focus to his friend, he listened back in. Her company and companionship had managed to pull him from the depths, momentarily, returning back to his home was sure to bring him down again. He decided he might stay out for a while longer to ponder on his next moves for his life. To say he'd like to see her again in the near future would be an understatement, perhaps she could be the key to normalcy. Rye didn't know if his family ever would return, or if he could find them, but Towhee showed him there was still hope left in this life. "Your friendship means more than you can know Towhee, thank you for being here for me." He smiled, returning the same shoulder bump she gave him.
