Northstar Vale But I do it anyway

Apparently their mom had come to visit while Tierra wasn’t really able to see her and she’d missed the whole thing. She didn’t mind or anything, but it did make her realize how long it had been. She let Germ and/or Fennec know where she was going and then headed out to visit her mom’s new digs.

She didn’t entirely love going now but pretty soon they’d be going on a trip yeah? And she didn’t really know how long this stuff would take to go away. Her back and sides were still a patchy mess of scabs in some places, something that left her self-conscious in a way she hadn’t quite learned how to handle. Her going method was just to ignore and pretend like it wasn’t a thing, but she was terrified it was going to scar like that. She couldn’t deal if her fur didn’t grow back in places. She would absolutely die.

Hey, mom?. She sent up a call and then sat down to wait, looking curiously around at the edge of Epoch. So this was the place everyone was, like, obsessed with. Weird! It looked kind of like the caldera, but in a mildly boring way. She’d grown to like the colors of the canyon.

No way @Towhee would hear her call, but someone she was with might. Either way, she didn’t mind waiting a bit.
