Sunbeam Lair illicit affairs

The Sunspire Mountains were due southeast of the glacier. Towhee wondered if @Towhee Jr might have headed toward the place where she’d been born and raised. But when she scoped out the vale, she found nothing but a ghost town. It made her sad, trawling this place from her past. She thought she smelled @Tamar but there was no trace of her or anyone else. Where had @Jack Snipe gone? Would she ever see him again?

It felt a little masochistic but she went next door next, plodding through the canyon. Towhee couldn’t hear the echoes of her footsteps in the dry dust, though she sensed the emptiness in many other ways. She considered going by the housing but decided to leave such places to her memories. Sighing through her nose, she headed toward the eastern reaches and began to climb.

She reached a bluff and scanned the views. She could head over to the valley, though she had no reason to think Jr had gone there. Towhee hadn’t found any trace of her whatsoever. This was a fool’s errand, just like she’d told @Dutch. She ought to head back west.

The mouth of Sunbeam Lair caught her eye. Was that a shadow moving inside? Towhee’s ears pinned backward for a moment as she deliberated. Letting her curiosity drive her, she descended to approach the darkened entryway.
