Ocean's Breath Plateau This time, this place.

Rodyn wanted to learn the language for her sake, which wasn’t lost on Towhee. She opened her mouth to thank him for his interest and assure him she would be more than happy to teach him when she caught her brother’s signing out of the corner of her eye. Towhee huffed a laugh, not realizing she’d even used the qualifier.

-“Correction: we are both very, very, very fluent,”- Towhee quipped in reply, laughing as she turned to their host and leader. Let’s plan to meet once a week for lessons. We can include the boys if you like, of course.

The tour resumed for a while, every ocean view reminding Towhee of Sweetharbor. Well, there was a reason they’d chosen that godforsaken island. There was something incredible about living at the seaside. She tipped her head into a bracing breeze spiced with salt and idly wondered if Meerkat would ever want to visit her here, considering her own aversion to the coast.

After asking Rodyn to show them to his very favorite place on the plateau (excluding his den, of course), Towhee drew in a breath and turned to her brother. That was a lot of walking for anyone their age but particularly someone down an entire limb.

Thank you for letting us stay in your home, Rodyn. We’ll do our best to repay your kindness, Towhe said, then quipped to Phox, Want to find somewhere comfy to park for a rest hour… or two or three?
