Her back complained and she quickly righted herself, watching it swoop away over the treetops even as the Arche stepped forth from beneath their cover.

His amiable greeting reminded her of what Germanicus had said. Somehow, she hadn’t realized the man held such a high opinion of her. But Towhee appreciated it, as well as the familiarity and warm welcome. She didn’t think she’d ever met wolves as hospitable as Arsenio and his wife.

She motioned at the vale surrounding them. I’ve only been here, what? Five days? And I can’t even take a look around yet. But all the same, I already love the place. You guys chose well.
