Silverlight Terrace let death come

it is ariadne's departure that bothers towhee the most, for she knew nothing about the man she called her husband and frankly did not care either way about him. but it proved to jr that she hadn't known the cloud woman, either. not really.

she wouldn't claim that she was glad that the cloud woman was gone, but towhee also knew that she wouldn't accept her back, either if and when she returned. her respect, once lost, was not something easily won back ... if she was the forgiving type. and towhee wasn't so sure that she was.

the next words about ariadne's husband cause jr's head to tilt; contemplative and confused. she states he was angry and that she hadn't felt safe and something twists in towhee's gut. something that she does not like. she does not know the story but there was clearly a story there, but she does not know how to ask to read it. or if she even wants to.

so, towhee does the best thing she can do: offers the raven furred woman a soft look of solidarity, hoping that under dutch's reign moonsong remained safe. in truth, towhee wasn't so sure she would be staying to find out.
