Absolutely!

Tierra knew that the man who’d been sent after Towhee had returned, but she hadn’t gotten around yet to asking him if he’d found her. She could have told him who she was, had him ask her mom to come for her specifically, but she hadn’t been sure she even wanted Towhee here. Okay, not exactly. She wanted her mom here more than anything. She just didn’t want her seeing them like this.

That fear vanished as soon as she heard Towhee’s characteristic off-key call at the borders. Tierra was immediately on her feet and on her way.

-Mom- she signed enthusiastically, one-pawed, barely stopping. The movement pulled at her neck and shoulders but she didn’t care. There was nothing she needed more, at that moment, than a hug from her mom.
