Ocean's Breath Plateau …it's falling into place.

She fully expected Raindrop to ask why she didn’t plan on staying. Towhee’s head tilted slightly. Maybe she didn’t want to pry. But Towhee realized the newcomer hadn’t really asked her anything about herself yet. Maybe she wasn’t interested to know.

You should go find him, Towhee said as they drew nearer to the southern border. You two can talk about culture while he gives you a proper tour, rather than this boring old patrol. She huffed a laugh, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. Besides, I’m going to head out for a bit, she added, pointing vaguely in the direction of the copse.

Thank you!
