Northstar Vale kentucky born and he's survived

Yes, she replied, having been too worked up to remember he would know them both pretty well. I do, she added quickly when Reyson spoke of their friendship and reminded her that nobody would fault her for making the right choice for her family.

Towhee sighed again. There was no “right choice” in this situation. The only solution, in her mind, was for Tikal to vacate. There were so many other places they could go. But would they? She’d barely made their acquaintance, yet she had a bad feeling that what she’d said to Reyson earlier was right on the money. They were probably some combination of cocky and foolish, which made them extremely dangerous.

Maybe the solution to everyone’s problems is a change of scenery, she said dryly, only meaning it as a joke. If I wasn’t so attached to the vale, I’d seriously propose that. But Arsenio and Tamar couldn’t have picked a more beautiful place to build Epoch. I’d hate to leave it, which leaves me at an impasse. And that pisses me off even more, she rambled, finishing with a wry laugh.

She could see that Sable was waking up on the goatskin. Towhee strode over to it and plopped down beside him. His sister had eaten all the pre-chewed meat she’d had on offer, so he would get the breast. The instant he raised his head and yawned, she nudged him toward her underside, then glanced up at their guest.

Thanks for listening, by the way. I know you’re dealing with a lot but for whatever it’s worth, I appreciate you, Sunshine.
