Starglow Basin Re_jaded.

Tierra deflected the question before diving into a spiel that left Towhee’s head spinning. Her daughter knew Soto? She was aware of his attempt to locate her? She mentioned the stranger who’d come looking for for, though Tierra also said she didn’t know why he was trying to track down Towhee. And before the elder Redhawk could make any sense of that, Tierra dished out a warning.

Her ears folded backward. For a long beat, she said nothing, just stared searchingly at Tierra’s thin face. She was so glad to see her after so long, yet something about this situation put a pit in her stomach. Towhee took a couple breaths and wondered if she could usher her away from the basin before Soto responded to her summons.

She finally broke her pensive silence to ask, Who is this Soto guy? It was kind of rhetorical question, though she gently implored, Tell me what you know about him.
