ty for being eternally patient with me!

The news that Meerkat and Njord had left was surprising, and even more surprising still was the news of Seal and Otter. The other two names Sialuk did not recognize, and she shook her head gently when Towhee mentioned them. To know that Treepie and Towhee's newest, Bushtit, did so well together was a delight, and it warmed the mother's heart.

Killdeer gave them a silent greeting, and Sialuk offered him a friendly wave in return. There was still much unspoken between the two of them, and her gaze lingered on him a little while longer before returning to Towhee to answer her question. It is quiet, but the village still stands strong, she replied. There was more to it than that, but it was as much as she wanted to dump on an old friend right now. First Argent's departure, then Elentari... it was difficult to process so much loss in what felt like such a short amount of time.
