You give good hugs! Treepie exclaimed as they and Towhee slipped apart.

They settled in beside her, grinning at the weight of their great grandmother’s foreleg draped over their shoulders. Pie stayed put and giggled when Tikaani came tumbling down the mountainside, motioning her over with an empathetic look in their eyes.

Remembering to sign this time, Pie said, -“She’s our great grandma!”-

Because Tiki was not only their best friend but also a sister, in spirit as well as blood. And speaking of sisters, Pie made sure to shoot the shy Kaujimaq a warm smile and an invitational jerk of their paw too. But she remained slightly withdrawn, observing quietly as was her way.

-“Can we show Great Grandma Towhee around the mountain?”- Pie asked the group, of course unaware that she’d lived here once upon a time.
