Maybe Fennec just didn’t feel up to the effort today. Towhee understood that, though she was a little disappointed, even hurt. Neither was hard to accomplish in her current mindset, so she decided against expressing any of it.

-“Another day, I’d like to try,”- Towhee said and signed so they’d both catch it. -“We’ll work on lipreading to make it easier,”- she added for Fen’s benefit, though she was looking at her mirror image. -“I want you two to know each other. You’re sisters.”-

She reached out to touch Fen’s shoulder in a tired farewell, then motioned for Towhee Jr to keep exploring their new home. Perhaps they would come across someone else and get to practice communication. Otherwise, there was plenty of mountainside to prospect.
