Redsand Canyon Maybe months go by, maybe years from now

Well, I think you’d be banished, Towhee replied frankly. If that’s really how you want to play it, then I wouldn’t try it here. There’s always Epoch, though she couldn’t say if Arsenio and Tamar—or any leaders anywhere, really—would particularly love Fennec’s approach.

If it had been up to her, Towhee probably would’ve fully supported the idea and helped Fennec raise the resulting pups. But this wasn’t the caldera and she wasn’t in charge. She wasn’t even in leadership and never would be (unless something changed drastically). She’d fallen in line despite herself and wondered if Fen might come around to the idea someday too.

There’s plenty of time to sort out the logistics, Towhee posited. So much will probably change between now and when this becomes more relevant anyway, and she didn’t even mean Fennec’s feelings on the matter, but literally everything else, and she gestured accordingly. Although I imagine I’ll still be here, in your corner.
