Redsand Canyon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Aquene looked apologetic as she explained how her initial effort must not have staved off infection well enough. Towhee frowned and replied, It’s not your bad. She still didn’t regret the ambush. No matter how much her leg pained her or how much those two might disagree, Towhee had found it both entertaining and useful.

As they began to make their way toward their distant destination, she said conversationally, Do you know how long I was planning that? We agreed to an ambush, like, way back when I first joined. I told him I wouldn’t blame him if he used teeth, she added with a dry laugh. Tell you what, Aquene, you are probably one of the safest wolves in the world with that dude hitched to you.

Towhee glanced over to see if Maxim was still with them. If he’d said anything, she hadn’t caught it. But there was something reticent about his presence today. She cocked an eyebrow at him. Sometimes, she wondered if he had a crush on her, but Towhee couldn’t quite bring herself to believe it. She was basically an old lady compared to everybody else here, except for Rue.

So, she continued, turning back toward Aquene, aside from my little disruption, how’s married life treating you? Towhee wasn’t privy to the circumstances and had no idea when those two had decided to tie the knot. The only reason she knew anything about it was the simple fact that they lived in the married housing now.
