Northstar Vale But I do it anyway

She supposed it wasn’t that odd for a young man to “freak out” about his mother’s sex life. Towhee kind of hoped for the same reaction from Tierra, albeit on a lighter note. She didn’t get that, though. Tierra didn’t bat an eyelash at the insinuation, which actually made Towhee smirk.

You’re a little limited right before and after delivery, Towhee concurred, although technically speaking, you don’t have to stay inside, no. In fact, I gave birth to Leo and Jack in the sparring pit during a rainstorm because I was out wandering at the eleventh hour.

She found her attention drawn back to Tierra’s wounds, for no particular reason aside from maternal concern. She thought about what the girl had relayed moments earlier: she was officer material. Maybe Towhee had been gone from Mereo too long; she couldn’t remember what rank that actually meant…

So, officer? Jog my memory: is that one of the roles that requires a stint in Akashingo? she wondered, trying to keep her face neutral.
