Sun Mote Copse smashed

@Treepie @Tikaani @Killdeer — tagging y'all since you were in the thread where we talked about this, but any moonspear folks are welcome! :D

let's do 3-day rounds, no posting order, so things don't get too bogged down. oh, and feel free to break off into smaller groups if that's easier!

Sialuk had promised the children a trip to Sun Mote Copse to visit Towhee, and today she intended to make good on it. She gathered the children, explained that they would need to stay close for the journey, and gathered up whoever wished to go—along with an adult or two to help. The trip would take slightly longer with children, but Sialuk was glad for the brief departure away from the spear.

When they stopped at the border, Sialuk pointed out how they could still see their own mountain's peak from here through the canopy of leaves overhead. Soon, she knew, the leaves would begin to change from green to orange, red, and brown. It felt like a new era, a breath of fresh air, and she was eager for the cool winds of autumn to bring longer nights to the world.

Towhee cannot use her ears like we can, Sialuk explained, but her villagers will let her know that we are here. Who wants to call for her? She peered at the little faces, waiting for one of the babes to volunteer—and already guessing which one would be the first to do so. Of course, her own voice would rise alongside the younger one just to be sure they were heard.
