Moonstone Quarry For of sugar and ice, I am made

Towhee headed back toward Moontide feeling slightly resigned. Rather than drag her feet, she took the scenic route, wandering much further south than was necessary. She was hungry, so she searched for trails in the weald, though Towhee didn’t have the energy to actually pursue any of them.

She found herself at the southwestern corner of the woods, where the trees were thin enough to see the plateau off to her right and… a strange man venturing into the quarry on her left. Towhee did a double take, watching him pad around the perimeter whilst gazing down into the chasm. He began to descend, then appeared to hesitate.

I wouldn’t do that if I were you, Towhee rumbled to herself, unaware that her voice was loud enough to carry.
