GRATS!!! :D

Bushtit spared his sister’s companions a cursory glance each, then focused on her familiar features. They were absent the signs of their mother’s advanced age: no crow’s feet or white hairs here. If anything, Jr looked healthier than ever, plump and glowing. In the back of his mind, he remembered her good news, which meant that must be Tvar behind her.

The words burst out of him: I don’t know! I can’t find her anywhere! Bushtit sucked in a breath, then proceeded slightly less frantically, -“I last saw her at the caldera. That was almost a week ago. I just wanted to go off on my own for a little bit. I didn’t mean to lose track of her. What if something bad happened to her, Jr? I’m freaking out.”-

As if she couldn’t tell. He drew in another breath and grimaced as he eyed the man behind her. They must be here for the promised rendezvous, so Towhee Sr could meet her son-in-law. Instead, she was nowhere to be found and Bushtit’s outburst was probably stressing out his pregnant sister. That couldn’t be good for her babies.

Turning his head aside so she wouldn’t be able to read his lips and mistakenly think it was aimed at her, Bushtit spat, Fuck!
