Towhee had a lot to say, and very little of it was reflective of what was actually going on in Moonglow. Ruenna's features softened sympathetically as Towhee delivered updates on all of her children, who had moved on to bigger things and no longer needed their mother. Towhee was struggling to feel relevant now that leadership and motherhood were behind her, and Ruenna could absolutely identify with that feeling. She had struggled with similar feelings around her own disability, searching for a role she could fill to be productive now that she could no longer scout. 

Towhee's explanation filled in a lot of gaps for Ruenna, which she appreciated. She had visited Moonglow herself several moons ago, but she had found the territory abandoned. It was good to hear that nothing unfortunate had befallen Kukutux and her followers. 

Towhee finished speaking, and Ruenna stopped in her tracks. "Intruding..? Towhee, nothing could be further from the truth." There was a time a few moons ago when she thought that she had offered Towhee advice for the final time, but clearly some things would never change. "If things aren't clicking in Moonglow, I'm betting it's because you're not a Second Hunter--" Towhee wasn't a hunter at heart; she was a fighter. "--You're a Master Warrior and Guardian." Ruenna continued, "I know you've said you're done raising up kids, but what about raising up soldiers?" Germanicus conducted all of the training himself right now. Would he be open to the idea of having some help in this? 

"It's just a thought," Ruenna relented with a shrug, realizing the pressure inherent in her question. She didn't expect Towhee to jump ship from Moonglow based on a single conversation, but Rue would do her best to dispel any thought that Towhee could intrude here in Mereo. Ruenna had already thought up a few very specific ways that Towhee could be uniquely useful here, with her particular skillset.
