Redsand Canyon lillies

When Tamar made that point, it actually made a bit more sense to Towhee. It still kind of smacked of sexism. She would’ve liked to say she could still fight like hell while carrying pups but that was bullshit. Especially toward the end of her last pregnancy, she had felt exhausted and heavyset. And she wouldn’t have wanted to fight in that condition for other, obvious reasons.

I’ll have to ask him more about it sometime, the Redhawk agreed, but thanks for explaining it to me. I don’t think any of it’s going to be relevant to me. I never plan on having another mate. So puppies weren’t possible, so long as she lived in Mereo, unless she changed her mind. And that wasn’t going to happen…

The conversation had put her into a bit of a pensive mood. Towhee realized she was extremely tired. Thanks for staying and chatting, Tamar. And thank you again for putting this together for me. She gestured at the bedding. Think I’m feeling about ready to put it to good use.
