Towhee felt a flicker of annoyance as Alaric lectured her about bat husbandry. But then she remembered she’d called him here to ask for his advice. She took a deep breath and paid attention to what he was saying.

I’m not keeping him anywhere, she did point out. He attached to me of his own free will. I mean, he’s more than welcome but I’m not forcing him to do anything, Towhee continued, wondering if the small creature could understand her.

He was so unbelievably tiny, it was easy for him to burrow into her ruff and conceal himself entirely. But Towhee knew Alaric had good points. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to look for a small cave as an option in case Batman wanted somewhere a little more practical to hang out.

I’m sure there’s plenty of good places around here, maybe near the foot of the mountain where there’s a spring, Towhee posited, glancing at the envoy to see if he approved.
